Ezequiel 6:1-6

1 Y FUÉ á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

2 Hijo del hombre, pon tu rostro hacia los montes de Israel, y profetiza contra ellos.

3 Y dirás: Montes de Israel, oid palabra del Señor Jehová: Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová á los montes y dicho el Señor Jehová á los montes y á los collados, á los arroyos y á los valles: He aquí que yo, yo haré venir sobre vosotros cuchillo, y destruiré vuestros altos.

4 Y vuestros altares serán asolados, y vuestras imágenes del sol serán quebradas: y haré que caigan vuestros muertos delante de vuestros ídolos.

5 Y pondré los cuerpos muertos de los hijos de Israel delante de sus ídolos; y vuestros huesos esparciré en derredor de vuestros altares.

6 En todas vuestras habitaciones las ciudades serán desiertas, y los altos serán asolados, para que sean asolados y se hagan desiertos vuestros altares; y quebrados serán vuestros ídolos, y cesarán; y vuestras imágenes del sol serán destruídas, y vuestras obras serán desechas.

Ezequiel 6:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 6

This chapter contains a prophecy of the desolation of the whole land of Israel, and a promise that a remnant should escape, with a lamentation for the sad destruction, signified by some gestures of the prophet. The order to the prophet to deliver out the prophecy is in Eze 6:1,2; the several parts of the land of Israel or Judea, to which the prophecy is directed, are signified by mountains, hills, rivers, and valleys, on which the sword should be brought, Eze 6:3; the desolation is described, and the cause of it suggested, the idolatry of the people, Eze 6:4-7; the promise of a remnant that should escape, who should remember the Lord, loath themselves for their sins, acknowledge him, and that his word was not in vain, is in Eze 6:8-10; the lamentation, signified by the prophet's smiting with his hand, and stamping with his foot, for the sins of the people, and the judgments that should come upon them, is in Eze 6:11; a particular enumeration of these judgments follows, and of the places where they should be executed, Eze 6:12; the end of them was to bring them to the knowledge and acknowledgment of the Lord, against whom they had sinned and offended by their idolatry, as the places where their slain fell would show, Eze 6:13; and the chapter is concluded with a resolution to bring this desolation on them, Eze 6:14.
