< Ezekiel 6 >

1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “You human, turn toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy [what will happen to] them, and say,
O son of humankind set face your against [the] mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3 ‘You mountains and hills of Israel [APO], listen to what Yahweh the Lord says to you: “I am about to [enemy soldiers with] swords to come and destroy [the shrines on] your hilltops.
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 They will smash all the [for worshiping idols] and the altars for burning incense. And they will [many Israeli] people in front of those idols.
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 Their corpses will lie in front of their idols, and their bones will be scattered around their 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 Wherever the Israelis live, their towns will be ruined, and the shrines where they worship idols will be smashed. Their altars will be completely smashed [DOU], their idols will be completely smashed [DOU], and everything that they own will become a pile of ruins.
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 Many of their people will be killed; and then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].
And he will fall [the] slain in midst of you and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
8 But I will allow some of the Israelis to remain alive. They will escape being killed when their enemies scatter them among many other nations.
And I will leave over when belong to you escapees of [the] sword among the nations when are dispersed you among the lands.
9 When that happens, in those nations to which they have been forced to go, those who have escaped from being killed will think about me. They will remember that I was very grieved because of their turning away from me [IDM] with their inner beings, and because they very much desired [IDM] to worship their idols. They will (hate/be very displeased with) themselves because of the evil and detestable things that they have done.
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 [they will realize that] I, Yahweh, [have punished them. They will realize that] when I threatened to punish them, I surely intended [LIT] to do that.
And they will know that I [am] Yahweh not to in vain I spoke to do to them the calamity this.
11 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to you, Ezekiel]: ‘Wring your hands and stamp your feet and cry [to show that you are distressed], and [about what will happen to] your Israeli people [MTY] because of all their wicked and detestable behavior. They will be killed [their enemies’] swords, they will die from hunger, and they will die from plagues.
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 Those who are far [from Jerusalem] will die from plagues, those who are close [to Jerusalem] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and those who are still alive will die from hunger. That is how I will punish [MTY] 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 [Some of] your people’s corpses will lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hilltop and on all the mountaintops, under every big tree [DOU]—at all the places where they burned incense [honor] their idols. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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 I will stretch out my arm and cause your entire country to become an empty wasteland, from the [in the far south] to [town in the far north]. Then they will realize that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do the things that I say that I will do].’”
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.
