Eze 6:11–14

6:11 Yahweh’s punishment of the Israelis

11 My master Yahweh says this: “Clap your hands and stamp your feet. Say, ‘Oh dear,’ because of all the disgustingly evil things done by the Israeli people, because now they’ll fall by sword, famine, and deadly diseases. 12 Those who are far from Yerushalem (Jerusalem) will die from deadly diseases, and those who are near will fall by the sword. Those who remain and survive will die by famine. That’s the way that I’ll put my fury against them into action. 13 Then you’ll know that I am Yahweh, when their dead lie among their idols, around their altars, on every high hill—on all the mountain peaks, and under every flourishing tree and thick oak—the places where they burnt incense to all their idols. 14 I’ll strike the land with my hand and make it bare and deserted from the wilderness to Develah, throughout all the places where they live. Then they’ll know that I am Yahweh.”
