| 1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, | 1And the word of the LORD came to me saying, |
| 2Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, | 2"Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them |
| 3And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. | 3and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD to the mountains, the hills, the ravines and the valleys: "Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places. |
| 4And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. | 4"So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols. |
| 5And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. | 5"I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars. |
| 6In all your dwellingplaces 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 images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. | 6"In all your dwellings, cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out. |
| 7And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. | 7"The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD. |
| 8Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. | 8"However, I will leave a remnant, for you will have those who escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries. |
| 9And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. | 9"Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations. |
| 10And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. | 10"Then they will know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would inflict this disaster on them."' |
| 11Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. | 11"Thus says the Lord GOD, 'Clap your hand, stamp your foot and say, "Alas, because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel, which will fall by sword, famine and plague! |
| 12He 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 fury upon them. | 12"He who is far off will die by the plague, and he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus will I spend My wrath on them. |
| 13Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. | 13"Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain 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 leafy oak-- the places where they offered soothing aroma to all their idols. |
| 14So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD. | 14"So throughout all their habitations I will stretch out My hand against them and make the land more desolate and waste than the wilderness toward Diblah; thus they will know that I am the LORD."'" |
