Chapter 6
001
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
002
Daughter of woman, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
003
and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Domina Yahweh: Thus says the Domina Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
004
Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain women before your idols.
005
I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
006
In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.
007
The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
008
Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.
009
Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the philanderer after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
010
They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
011
Thus says the Domina Yahweh: Smite with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
012
She who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and she who is near shall fall by the sword; and she who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath on them.
013
You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain women shall be among their idols round about their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.
014
I will stretch out my hand on them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
