and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your
staff of bread;
005:017 and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall
bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you;
and I will bring the sword on you: I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
006:001 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
006:002 Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel,
and prophesy to them,
006:003 and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh 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.
006:004 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars
shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men
before your idols.
006:005 I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel
before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round
about your altars.
006:006 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 incense altars may be hewn down,
and your works may be abolished.
006:007 The slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know
that I am Yahweh.
006:008 Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that
escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered
through the countries.
006:009 Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations
where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been
broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me,
and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols:
and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils
which they have committed in all their abominations.
006:010 They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain
that I would do this evil to them.
006:011 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Smite with your hand, and stamp with
your 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.
006:012 He who is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he who is
near shall fall by the sword; and he who remains and is
besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish
my wrath on them.
006:013 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when their slain men shall be
among their idols round about their altars, on 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.
