International Standard Version

1The word of the LORD came to me:

1The LORD continued with his message to me.

2"Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them

2"Son of Man," he said, "turn your face to oppose the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.

3and say: 'You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign LORD. This is what the Sovereign LORD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

3Tell the mountains of Israel to listen as the Lord GOD speaks. This is what the Lord GOD has to say to the mountains, hills, streams, and the valleys: 'Look! I'm about to bring my sword against you. I'm going to destroy your high places.

4Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.

4Your altars will become desolate and your sun pillars will be shattered. I'll throw your slain down right in front of your idols.

5I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

5I'll place the corpses of the Israelis in front of their idols. I'll scatter your bones around your altar.

6Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out.

6In all the places where you live, the cities will be desolate. The high places will also be desolate so that your altars will be laid waste, bearing the punishment appropriate to them. Your idols will be shattered, your sun pillars will be hewn down, and your works will be obliterated.

7Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

7The fatally wounded among you will fall, and at that time you'll know that I am the LORD.

8"'But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.

8I'll leave a remnant among you—those who will escape the sword when I'll have scattered you throughout the earth.

9Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me--how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.

9Your survivors will remember me among the nations where they'll be taken captives. I've been crushed by their unfaithful hearts that have turned against me.

10And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.

10Then they'll know that I am the LORD. I didn't declare this evil that's intended for them without a reason.'"

11"'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out "Alas!" because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.

11This is what the Lord GOD says: "Clap your hands and stamp your feet! Say, 'Oh, no!' Because of all the detestable evil that has come from Israel's house, they'll fall by the sword, famine, and pestilence.

12One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and anyone who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out my wrath on them.

12The one who lives far away will die by pestilence and the one who is near will die violently. The survivors and their surveillance details will die by famine as I exhaust my rage against them.

13And they will know that I am the LORD, when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak--places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.

13"You'll learn that I am the LORD, when the fatally wounded will be among their idols, around their altars, on every hill, on top of the mountains, under every luxuriant tree, and under all the full-grown foliage—every place where they've offered fragrant aromas to all their idols.

14And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah --wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'"

14I'll stretch out my hands to strike them and send devastation to the land, from the wilderness of Diblah, throughout all their dwelling places. Then they'll know that I am the LORD."
