Ezekiel 6

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

A message from the Lord came to me that said,

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

“Son of man, face towards of Israel's mountains and prophesy against them.

3 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.

Tell them: Mountains of Israel, listen to the message from the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the gorges and the valleys: I'm going to attack you and destroy your high places.

4 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.

Your pagan altars will be torn down, and your incense altars will be smashed to pieces. I will kill your idol worshipers right in front of their idols.

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

I will put the dead bodies of you Israelites in front of your idols and scatter your bones around your altars.

6 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.

Everywhere you live, the towns will be turned into rubble and the high places torn down. Your altars will be demolished and defiled. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense altars will be knocked down, and all that you made will be ruined.

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

People will be killed all throughout your country. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

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

However, I will let some of you survive and scatter you among the different nations and countries.

9 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.

Once they are they are there as prisoners in the nations, then the survivors will remember me. They will realize how sad they made me by their spiritual adultery as they deserted me with their eyes full of lust as they worshiped idols. They will hate themselves for the evil things they did, for all their disgusting sins.

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

Then they will know that I am the Lord, and that I was not pretending when I warned them about bringing this disaster upon them.

11 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.

This is what the Lord God says: Hit yourself with your hands, stomp your feet, and shout out ‘Oh no!’ Do this because of all the terrible wickedness of the people of Israel. They are going to die by the sword and famine and disease.

12 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.

Those living far away will die from of disease, those who are close by will be killed by the sword, and those who are left will die of starvation. This is how I will express my anger towards them.

13 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.

Then you will know that I am the Lord—when the idol worshipers lie dead among their idols and altars on the top of every hill and mountain, and under every green tree and large oak. These were the pagan shrines where they offered sweet-smelling incense to all their idols.

14 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.

I'm going to lift up my hand to punish them. In every place they live I will make their country a wasteland, all the way from the desert in the south to Diblah in the north. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
