Reading Ezekiel chapter 6 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, set your face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them,
3 and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD 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 amongst you, and you will know that I am the LORD.
8 “‘“Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword amongst the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.
9 Those of you that escape will remember me amongst 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 the LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”’
