Hesekiel 6:6

Listen to Hesekiel 6:6
6 Wo ihr wohnet, da sollen die Städte wüst und die Höhen zur Einöde werden; denn man wird eure Altäre wüst und zur Einöde machen und eure Götzen zerbrechen und zunichte machen und eure Sonnensäulen zerschlagen und eure Machwerke vertilgen.

Hesekiel 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:6

In all your dwelling places your cities shall be laid waste,
&c.] Which denotes that the desolation should be general, wherever they had cities and places to dwell in; the idolatry being universal, as is said in ( Jeremiah 2:28 ) ; and the high places shall be desolate;
meaning such as were in cities; as, before, such as were built upon mountains and hills; see ( 2 Kings 23:5 ) ; that your altars may be laid waste and desolate;
as they must be, the cities being destroyed in which they were set up: and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut
down;
such as were made of gold and silver, or of wood and stone; the same words are used for them as in ( Ezekiel 6:4 ) ; and your works may be abolished;
not only the works of their hands, but of their brain; whatever they had devised, and was contrary to the pure word and worship of God.

Hesekiel 6:6 In-Context

4 daß eure Altäre verwüstet und euer Sonnensäulen zerbrochen werden, und will eure Erschlagenen vor eure Bilder werfen;
5 ja, ich will die Leichname der Kinder Israel vor ihre Bilder hinwerfen und will ihre Gebeine um eure Altäre her zerstreuen.
6 Wo ihr wohnet, da sollen die Städte wüst und die Höhen zur Einöde werden; denn man wird eure Altäre wüst und zur Einöde machen und eure Götzen zerbrechen und zunichte machen und eure Sonnensäulen zerschlagen und eure Machwerke vertilgen.
7 Und sollen Erschlagene unter euch daliegen, daß ihr erfahrt, ich sei der HERR.
8 Ich will aber etliche von euch übrigbleiben lassen, die dem Schwert entgehen unter den Heiden, wenn ich euch in die Länder zerstreut habe.
