Ezekiel is to Prophesy About the Destruction of Their Altars & false gods |
Ezekiel 6:1-14 The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks] |
And the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [put] your face toward the mountains of Israel & prophesy against them. [Jeremiah 23:10-11 For the land is full of [unfaithful] adulterers & the land mourns, because of swearing [false oaths,] & the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. |
And their [path] is evil & their [forcefulness] isn't right. For both: [prophets & priests] are profane. [Yes,] I have found their wickedness in My house, says the Lord.] |
And You mountains of Israel, say & hear the Word of the Lord God. The Lord God says [this] to the: mountains; hills; rivers & valleys. [Watch,] I, even I, will bring a sword upon you & I will destroy your high places. [Leviticus 26:30 And I will destroy your high places & cut down your images & [throw] your [corpses] upon the carcases of your idols. And My soul shall [loathe] you.] |
And your altars shall be desolate & your images shall be broken. And I will [throw] down you slain men [in front of] your idols. And I will lay the dead [corpses] of the children [people] of Israel [in front of] their idols. And I will scatter your bones [all around] your altars. |
[Wherever you live,] the cities shall be [wastelands] & made desolate; [so] that your altars may be [ruined] & desolate & [so] your idols may be broken & cease. And [so] your images may be cut down & your works may be abolished. And the slain shall fall in the midst of you & you shall know that I Am the Lord. |
[Still,] I will leave [some remaining so] you may have some, [who] shall escape the sword, among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries. |
And [those who] escape of you, shall remember Me among the nations, [where] they shall be carried [captive,] because I Am broken with their [unfaithful, adulterous] heart, [that] has departed from Me & with their eyes, [that] go [like unfaithful harlots,] after their idols. |
And they shall [loathe] themselves for the evils, [that] they have committed [by] all their abominations. And they shall know that I Am the Lord & that I haven't said in vain that I would do this [calamity] to them. |
The Lord God says [this; Hit] with your hand & [stomp] with your foot & say, [Woe to us,] for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the: sword; famine & by pestilence. He, [who] is far [away,] shall die [by] pestilence & he, [who] is near shall fall by the sword. |
And he, [who remains] & is [surrounded,] shall die by famine. [Like this,] I will [carry out] My fury upon them. |
Then, you shall know that I Am the Lord, when their slain men shall be among their idols [all around] their altars in the [places] where they offered sweet [incense] to all their idols: upon every high hill & in all the tops of the mountains; under every green tree; under every [large] oak. |
[Jeremiah 3:6 The Lord also said to me, [during] the days of king Josiah, Have you seen [what] backsliding Israel has done? She [has] gone up upon every high mountain & under every green tree & has played the [unfaithful] harlot.] |
So, I will stretch out My hand upon them & make the land desolate, [Yes,] more desolate than in all their [places they lived,] [in] all the wilderness toward Diblath. And they shall know that I Am the Lord. |
