And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thussaith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, willbring a swordupon you, and I willdestroyyourhighplaces.
In all yourdwellingplaces the citiesshall be laidwaste, and the highplacesshall be desolate; thatyouraltars may be laidwaste and madedesolate, and youridols may be broken and cease, and yourimages may be cut down, and yourworks may be abolished.
And theythatescape of you shallremember me among the nationswhithertheyshall be carriedcaptives, because I am brokenwiththeirwhorishheart, whichhathdepartedfrom me, and withtheireyes, which go a whoringaftertheiridols: and theyshallloathethemselves for the evilswhichtheyhavecommitted in all theirabominations.
Thussaith the Lord GOD; Smitewiththinehand, and stampwith thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evilabominations of the house of Israel! for theyshallfall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is nearshallfall by the sword; and he thatremaineth and is besiegedshall die by the famine: thuswill I accomplish my furyuponthem.
Thenshall ye knowthat I am the LORD, whentheirslain men shall be amongtheiridolsroundabouttheiraltars, uponeveryhighhill, in all the tops of the mountains, and undereverygreentree, and undereverythick oak, the placewherethey did offersweetsavour to all theiridols.
So will I stretch out my handuponthem, and make the landdesolate, yea, moredesolatethan the wildernesstowardDiblath, in all theirhabitations: and theyshallknowthat I am the LORD.
