Ezekiel 6:1 In-Context

1 Again a message came to me from the LORD :

2 “Son of man, turn and face the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.

3 Proclaim this message from the Sovereign LORD against the mountains of Israel. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills and to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring war upon you, and I will smash your pagan shrines.

4 All your altars will be demolished, and your places of worship will be destroyed. I will kill your people in front of your idols.

5 I will lay your corpses in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
