in the sight of all that pass by.
15
So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations that
are
round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in
anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the L
ORD
have spoken
it.
16
When I shall send upon
them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for
their
destruction,
and
which I will send to destroy
you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
17
So will I send
upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass
through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the L
ORD
have spoken
it.
CHAPTER 6
And the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains
of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3
And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord
GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys;
Behold, I,
even
I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
4
And your
altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain
men
before
your idols.
5
And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will
scatter your bones round about your altars.
6
In all your dwellingplaces 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 images may be cut down, and your works may be
abolished.
7
And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
8
Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have
some
that shall escape the sword among the
nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
9
And they that escape of you shall
remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with
their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after
their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their
abominations.
10
And they shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
,
and that
I have not said in vain that I
would do this evil unto them.
11
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for
all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and
by the pestilence.
12
He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the
sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my
fury upon them.
13
Then shall ye know that I
am
the L
ORD
, when their slain
men
shall be among
their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under
every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their
idols.
14
So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate
than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
.
