6:2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
6:2 O mortal, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

6:3 and 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 ravines and the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
6:3 and 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 ravines and the valleys: I, I myself will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.

6:4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
6:4 Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense stands shall be broken; and I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.

6:5 And I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
6:5 I will lay the corpses of the people of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.

6:6 Wherever you dwell your cities shall be waste and your high places ruined, so that your altars will be waste and ruined, your idols broken and destroyed, your incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out.
6:6 Wherever you live, your towns shall be waste and your high places ruined, so that your altars will be waste and ruined, your idols broken and destroyed, your incense stands cut down, and your works wiped out.

6:7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
6:7 The slain shall fall in your midst; then you shall know that I am the LORD.

6:8 "Yet I will leave some of you alive. When you have among the nations some who escape the sword, and when you are scattered through the countries,
6:8 But I will spare some. Some of you shall escape the sword among the nations and be scattered through the countries.

6:9 then those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, when I have broken their wanton heart which has departed from me, and blinded their eyes which turn wantonly after their idols; and they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.
6:9 Those of you who escape shall remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I was crushed by their wanton heart that turned away from me, and their wanton eyes that turned after their idols. Then they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations.

6:10 And they shall know that I am the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them."
6:10 And they shall know that I am the LORD; I did not threaten in vain to bring this disaster upon them.

6:11 Thus says the Lord GOD: "Clap your hands, and stamp your foot, and say, Alas! because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
6:11 Thus says the Lord GOD: Clap your hands and stamp your foot, and say, Alas for all the vile abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

6:12 He that is far off shall die of pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that is left and is preserved shall die of famine. Thus I will spend my fury upon them.
6:12 Those far off shall die of pestilence; those nearby shall fall by the sword; and any who are left and are spared shall die of famine. Thus I will spend my fury upon them.

6:13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, on all the mountain tops, under every green tree, and under every leafy oak, wherever they offered pleasing odor to all their idols.
6:13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountain tops, under every green tree, and under every leafy oak, wherever they offered pleasing odor to all their idols.

6:14 And I will stretch out my hand against them, and make the land desolate and waste, throughout all their habitations, from the wilderness to Riblah. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
