1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. Son of man, set thy face towards the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them.
3. And say: Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: Thus Faith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the rocks, and the valleys: Behold, I will bring upon you the sword, and I will destroy your high places.
4. And I will throw down your altars, and your idols shall be broken in pieces: and I will cast down your slain before your idols.
5. And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before your idols: and I will scatter Sour bones round about your altars,
6. In all your dwelling places. The cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be thrown down, and destroyed, and your altars shall be abolished, and shall be broken in pieces: and your idols shall be no more, and your temples shall be destroyed, and your works shall be defaced.
7. And the slain shall fall in the midst of you: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
8. And I will leave in you some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when I shall have scattered you, through the countries.
