Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 Again the Lord spoke his word to me, saying:

2 "Human, look toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them.

3 Say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. The Lord God says this to the mountains, the hills, the ravines, and the valleys: I will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your places of idol worship.

4 Your altars will be destroyed and your incense altars broken down. Your people will be killed in front of your idols.

5 I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
