CHAPTER 6 Against the Mountains of Israel

1 And [³came ¹the word ²of the lord] to me, saying, 2 O son of man, fix your face upon the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them! 3 And you shall say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of Adonai the lord! Thus says Adonai the lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the ravines, and to the groves; Behold, I bring upon you a broadsword, and [²will be utterly destroyed ¹your high places]. 4 And [⁴will be broken down ¹your altars ²and ³your sacred precincts]. And I will throw down your slain before your idols. And I shall offer the corpses of the sons of Israel in front of their idols. 5 And I shall scatter your bones round about your altars. 6 In all your house the cities shall be made quite desolate, and the high places shall be obliterated, so that [²shall be utterly destroyed ¹your altars], and [²shall be broken ³and ⁴caused to cease ¹your idols], and [²shall be lifted away ¹your sacred precincts], and [²shall be wiped away ¹your works]. 7 And [²shall fall ¹slain ones] in your midst, and you shall realize that I am the lord. 8 And I shall leave behind some in the taking place of your ones escaping from the broadsword among the nations, and in your being dispersed in the places. 9 And [⁵shall remember ⁶me ¹the ones ²escaping ³of ⁴yours] among the nations of which they were taken captive there. I have sworn against their heart, against the one fornicating from me; and with their eyes fornicating after their practices. And they shall smite against their faces for the evils which they did in all their abominations. 10 And they shall realize that I the lord [²not ⁸for ⁹nothing ¹have ³spoken ⁴to do ⁷against them ⁵all ⁶these evils]. 11 Thus says the lord; Clap with the hand, and stamp with the foot, and say, Well done, over all the abominations of the house of Israel! By the broadsword, and by plague, and by famine they shall fall. 12 The one far away [²by ³plague ¹shall come to an end]. And the one near [²by ³the broadsword ¹shall fall]. And the one being left behind, and the one being compassed by siege [²by ³famine ¹will be finished off]. And I shall exhaust my anger against them. 13 And you shall know that I am the lord in [²being ¹your slain] in the midst of your idols, round about your altars, upon every [²hill ¹high], and on all the tops of the mountains, and underneath [²tree ¹every shady], underneath every [²oak ¹bushy], of which they offered there a scent of pleasant aroma to all their idols. 14 And I shall stretch out my hand against them, and I shall make the land for extinction; even [⁵for ⁶ruin ¹from ²the ³wilderness ⁴of Diblath] of all their habitation. And you shall realize that I am the lord.
