1And the word of LORD JEHOVAH was upon me, saying: 2“Son of man, set your face to the mountains of Israel and prophesy over them 3And say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of THE LORD OF LORDS; thus says THE LORD OF LORDS to the mountains and to the hills and to the rivers and to the brooks: behold, I bring upon you a sword and I shall destroy your shrines 4And your altars shall be desolate and your idols shall be broken down, and I shall cast your slain before your idols 5And I shall cast the corpses of the house of Israel before their idols, and I shall scatter your bones around your altars 6And the cities of all your inhabitants shall be destroyed, and the shrines shall be laid waste, because they shall be destroyed, and your altars shall be desolated, and they shall be broken down, and your idols shall be destroyed, and your carvings shall be broken in pieces, and your works shall be blotted out 7And your slain shall fall among you, and you shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH

8And I shall leave some of you among the nations, those who are saved from the sword and are scattered in the cities 9And those who are saved from you among the nations who are taken captive there shall remember me when I have broken their hearts, fornicators who turned away from me, and their eyes that went astray after their idols, and their faces shall be shriveled by the evil that they have done and by all their abominations 10And they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, and it was not for nothing I said that I shall do this evil to them

11Thus says THE LORD OF LORDS: “Strike with your fist and stomp with your foot, and say, ‘Save us!’, because of all the impurity and the evil of the house of Israel, because by the sword and by starvation and by plague they will fall! 12He that is distant shall die in the plague and he that is near shall fall by the sword, and he that is left and he that is saved shall die by famine, and I shall fulfill my anger on them 13And they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH, when their slain are among their idols around their altars on every high hill and under all mountaintops, and under every shade tree, and under every great oak in the places where they put incense for all their idols 14And I shall lift my hands over them and I shall make the land a destruction and an astonishment, more than the wilderness of Deblath and all the place of their dwelling, and they shall know that I AM LORD JEHOVAH
