Ezekiel 6

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

2 Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,

O son of humankind set face your against [the] mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.

3 You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

And you will say O mountains of Israel hear [the] word of [the] Lord Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills to the ravines (and to the valleys *Q(k)*) here I I [am] about to bring on you a sword and I will destroy high places your.

4 And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.

And they will be made desolate altars your and they will be shattered incense altars your and I will make fall slain [ones] your before idols your.

5 And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.

And I will put [the] corpses of [the] people of Israel before idols their and I will disperse bones your around altars your.

6 In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

In all dwelling places your the cities they will be waste and the high places they will be desolate so that they may be waste and they may be held guilty altars your and they will be shattered and they will cease idols your and they will be cut down incense altars your and they will be wiped out products your.

7 And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

And he will fall [the] slain in midst of you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

8 But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.

And I will leave over when belong to you escapees of [the] sword among the nations when are dispersed you among the lands.

9 And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

And they will remember escapees your me among the nations where they have been taken captive there where I was crushed heart their [which] plays the prostitute which it has turned aside from with me and eyes their [which] play the prostitute after idols their and they will loathe faces their because of the wicked things which they have done to all abominations their.

10 And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.

And they will know that I [am] Yahweh not to in vain I spoke to do to them the calamity this.

11 This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh strike with hand your and stamp with foot your and say alas! because of all [the] abominations of [the] wicked deeds of [the] house of Israel who by the sword by famine and by pestilence they will fall.

12 He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.

The distant [person] by the pestilence he will die and the near [person] by the sword he will fall and the [one who] is left alive and the [one who] is preserved by famine he will die and I will complete rage my on them.

13 And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.

And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when are slain [ones] their in among idols their around altars their to every hill high on all - [the] tops of the mountains and under every tree luxuriant and under every terebinth leafy [the] place where they gave there an odor of soothing to all idols their.

14 And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

And I will stretch out hand my on them and I will make the land a desolation and a waste more than [the] wilderness of Diblah in all dwelling places their and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
