The Judgment upon Guilty Judah

6 This word of Jehovah also came to me: 2 Son of man, set thy face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them, 3 and say, ’O mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah: "Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: Behold, I am about to bring the sword against you and I will destroy your high places, 4 and your altars shall be shattered, and your sun pillars broken in pieces, and I will cause your slain to fall before your idols, 5 and I will scatter your bones about your altars. 6 In all your dwelling places cities shall be laid waste, and the high places desolate, so that your altars shall be waste° and desolate, and your idols shall be broken in pieces, and your sun pillars hewn down; 7 and the slain shall fall in your midst, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

8 And when there shall be among the nations some of you who have escaped the sword, when ye are dispersed in the lands; 9 then ye who have escaped will remember me among the nations whither ye are carried captive. I will crush the hearts of those who have adulterously turned from me, and the eyes which have adulterously turned after-their idols, and they shall loathe themselves for the wicked things which they have done, for all their abomination. 10 And they shall know that I, Jehovah, have not vainly said that would do them this evil."’

11 This saith Jehovah, Clap thy hands and stamp thy feet and say, ’Woe, woe, because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, because with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence shall they fall. 12 He who is far off shall die by pestilence, and he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who is besieged shall die by famine: thus, I will vent my fury upon them. 13 And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain lie in the midst of their idols on every high hill, on every mountain top, and under every green tree, and under every leaf-clad terebinth, where they have offered sweet savior to all their idols. 14 And I will stretch out my hand against them to make the land waste and desolate from the wilderness to Riblah, in all their dwelling places; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.’
