[1] Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them, [3] and 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. [4] Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols. [5] I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars. [6] In 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. [7] The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am Yahweh. [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. [9] Those 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. [10] They will know that I am Yahweh. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.” ’ [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. [12] He 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. [13] You 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. [14] I 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.’ ”

The Desolation of the Land
[1] And the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 set H7760 (QalImpv) thy face H6440 toward the mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 and prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) against them, [3] and say, H559 (QalPerf) Ye mountains H2022 of Israel, H3478 hear H8085 (QalImpv) the word H1697 of the Lord H136 God; H3069 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 to the mountains, H2022 and to the hills, H1389 to the rivers, H650 and to the valleys; H1516 Behold, I, even I, will bring H935 (HiphPtc) a sword H2719 upon you, and I will destroy H6 (PielPerf) your high places. H1116 [4] And your altars H4196 shall be desolate, H8074 (NiphPerf) and your images H2553§ shall be broken: H7665 (NiphPerf) and I will cast down H5307 (HiphPerf) your slain H2491 men before H6440 your idols. H1544 [5] And I will lay H5414 (QalPerf)§ the dead carcases H6297 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 before H6440 their idols; H1544 and I will scatter H2219 (PielPerf) your bones H6106 round about H5439 your altars. H4196 [6] In all your dwellingplaces H4186 the cities H5892 shall be laid waste, H2717 (QalImpf) and the high places H1116 shall be desolate; H3456 (QalImpf) that your altars H4196 may be laid waste H2717 (QalImpf) and made desolate, H816 (QalImpf) and your idols H1544 may be broken H7665 (NiphPerf) and cease, H7673 (NiphPerf) and your images H2553 may be cut down, H1438 (NiphPerf) and your works H4639 may be abolished. H4229 (NiphPerf) [7] And the slain H2491 shall fall H5307 (QalPerf) in the midst H8432 of you, and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [8] Yet will I leave a remnant, H3498 (HiphPerf) that ye may have some that shall escape H6412 the sword H2719 among the nations, H1471 when ye shall be scattered H2219 (NiphInf) through the countries. H776 [9] And they that escape H6412 of you shall remember H2142 (QalPerf) me among the nations H1471 whither they shall be carried captives, H7617 (NiphPerf) because I am broken H7665 (NiphPerf) with their whorish H2181 (QalActPtc) heart, H3820 which hath departed H5493 (QalPerf) from me, and with their eyes, H5869 which go a whoring H2181 (QalActPtc) after H310 their idols: H1544 and they shall lothe H6962 (NiphPerf) themselves H6440 for the evils H7451 which they have committed H6213 (QalPerf) in all their abominations. H8441 [10] And they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord, H3068 and that I have not said H1696 (PielPerf) in vain H2600 that I would do H6213 (QalInf) this evil H7451 unto them. [11] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Smite H5221 (HiphImpv) with thine hand, H3709 and stamp H7554 (QalImpv) with thy foot, H7272 and say, H559 (QalImpv) Alas H253 for all the evil H7451 abominations H8441 of the house H1004 of Israel! H3478 for they shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) by the sword, H2719 by the famine, H7458 and by the pestilence. H1698 [12] He that is far off H7350 shall die H4191 (QalImpf) of the pestilence; H1698 and he that is near H7138 shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) by the sword; H2719 and he that remaineth H7604 (NiphPtc) and is besieged H5341 (QalPasPtc) shall die H4191 (QalImpf) by the famine: H7458 thus will I accomplish H3615 (PielPerf) my fury H2534 upon them. [13] Then shall ye know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord, H3068 when their slain H2491 men shall be among H8432 their idols H1544 round about H5439 their altars, H4196 upon every high H7311 (QalActPtc) hill, H1389 in all the tops H7218 of the mountains, H2022 and under every green H7488 tree, H6086 and under every thick H5687 oak, H424 the place H4725 where they did offer H5414 (QalPerf) sweet H5207 savour H7381 to all their idols. H1544 [14] So will I stretch out H5186 (QalPerf) my hand H3027 upon them, and make H5414 (QalPerf) the land H776 desolate, H8077 yea, more desolate H4923 than the wilderness H4057 toward Diblath, H1689 in all their habitations: H4186 and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord.
