1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
1Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
2Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them;
2“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
3and you shall say, You⌃ mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests; Behold, Ibring a sword upon you, and your high places shall be utterly destroyed.
3and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places.
4And your altars shall be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats; and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
4Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5And I will scatter your bones round about your altars,
5I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6and in all your habitations: the cities shall be made desolate, and the high places utterly laid waste; that your altars may be destroyed, and your idols be broken to pieces, and your consecrated plats be abolished.
6In all your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7And slain [men] shall fall in the midst of you, and you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord.
7The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
8When there are [some] of you escaping from the sword among the Gentiles, and when you⌃ are scattered in the countries;
8“‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.
9then they of you that escape among the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn [an oath] against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices;) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.
9Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10And they shall know that I the Lord have spoken.
10They will know that I am Yahweh. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”’
11Thus says the Lord; Clap with [your] hand, and stamp with [your] footand say, Aha, aha! for all the abominations of the house of Israel: they shall fall by the sword, and by pestilence, and by famine.
11“The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, “Alas!”, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
12He that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is in the siege shall be consumed with famine: and I will accomplish my anger upon them.
12He who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on them.
13Then you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord, when your slain are in the midst of your idols round about your altars, on every high hill, and under [every] shady tree, where they offered a sweet savor to all their idols.
13You will know that I am Yahweh when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols.
14And I will stretch out my hand against them, and I will make the land desolate and ruined from the wilderness of Deblatha, in all their habitations: [and] you⌃ shall know that I am the Lord.
14I will stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’”
