Chapter 6
(Passion Bible)
Ezekiel 6
Ready to read
1
Yahweh said to me:[1]
2
“Son of man, turn toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3
Say to them, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the words of Lord Yahweh! He prophesies to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys:[2]
4
Your altars will be deserted,
5
I will lay the corpses of the Israelites
6
Wherever you live,
7
The slain will lie everywhere in your midst,
8
“ ‘I will spare some of you who escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations.
9
Those who escape will remember me among the nations where they are exiles. They will remember how my heart was crushed by their promiscuous ways when they turned their hearts away from me and by their wandering eyes that lusted after idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil things they did and all their detestable practices.
10
And they will realize that it was no idle threat when I, Yahweh, declared that I would bring this severe punishment upon them.’ ”
11
Hear the words of Lord Yahweh: “Stomp your feet angrily and pound your fist, and say, ‘How awful!’ over all the evil abominations of the people of Israel. For they will fall by the sword, by food shortages, and by plague.
12
“Those far away will die by the plague,
13
“And you will be convinced that I am Yahweh when their corpses lie scattered around their idols and around their altars, on every high hill, on every mountaintop, under every spreading tree, and under every leafy oak—every place where they have offered soothing incense to all their lifeless idols.
14
I will stretch out my mighty arm against them and turn the land wherever they live into a complete wasteland from the desert to Riblah.[4] And when this happens, they will be convinced that I am Yahweh!”
