Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 Then the Word of God came to me:

2 "Son of man, now turn and face the mountains of Israel and preach against them:

3 'O Mountains of Israel, listen to the Message of God, the Master. God, the Master, speaks to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I'm about to destroy your sacred god and goddess shrines.

4 I'll level your altars, bust up your sun-god pillars, and kill your people as they bow down to your no-god idols.

5 I'll stack the dead bodies of Israelites in front of your idols and then scatter your bones around your shrines.
