1 A nd the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2 S on of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them,

Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy unto them,

3 A nd say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and the hills, to the river ravines and the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places,

and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

4 A nd your altars shall be made desolate and your sun-pillars shall be broken in pieces, and I will cast down your slain before your idols.

And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

5 A nd I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

And I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.

6 I n all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste and the high places shall be made desolate, that your altars may bear their guilt and be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and destroyed, your sun-images may be hewn down, and your handiworks may be wiped away and blotted out.

In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.

7 A nd the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.

8 Y et will I leave some of you alive. When you have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries,

Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

9 T hen those of you who escape shall remember Me among the nations to which they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken by their lewdness and have Myself broken their wanton heart which has departed from Me and blinded their eyes which turn after their idols wantonly; and they shall be loathsome in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

And those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which hath departed from me, and with they eyes, which play the harlot after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

10 A nd they shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord. I have not said in vain that I would bring this evil calamity upon them.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.

11 T hus says the Lord God: Strike with your fist, stamp with your foot, and say, Alas! over all the vile abominations of the house of Israel for which shall fall by sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.

12 H e who is far off shall die of the pestilence, and he that is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is preserved shall die by the famine. Thus will I accomplish My wrath upon them.

He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my wrath upon them.

13 T hen shall you know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord, when their slain shall lie among their idols round about their altars upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thickly leafed oak, the places where they were accustomed to offer sweet incense to all their idols.

And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the places where they offered sweet savor to all their idols.

14 A nd I will stretch out My hand upon them and make the land desolate and waste, yes, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their dwelling places; and they shall know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord.

And I will stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations: and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
