1The word of the Lord came to me:2“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, (Eze 2:1; Eze 13:17; Eze 19:9; Eze 20:46; Eze 21:2; Eze 25:2; Eze 28:21; Eze 29:2; Eze 33:28; Eze 34:13; Eze 35:2; Eze 35:12; Eze 36:1; Eze 36:4; Eze 36:8; Eze 37:4; Eze 37:9; Eze 37:22; Eze 38:2; Eze 38:8; Eze 39:2; Eze 39:4; Eze 39:17; Lu 9:51)3and 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. (Le 26:30; Isa 57:5; Eze 6:13; Eze 31:12; Eze 36:1; Eze 36:4; Eze 36:6)4Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain before your idols. (2Ch 14:5; Eze 6:3)5And I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars. (2Ki 23:14; 2Ki 23:16; Eze 6:3)6Wherever you dwell, the cities shall be waste and the high places ruined, so that your altars will be waste and ruined,[1] your idols broken and destroyed, your incense altars cut down, and your works wiped out. (Isa 27:10; Eze 6:3; Eze 6:4; Eze 12:20)7And the slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord.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, (Eze 7:16; Eze 12:16; Eze 14:22)9then those of you who escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken over their whoring heart that has departed from me and over their eyes that go whoring after their idols. And they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they have committed, for all their abominations. (Ex 34:15; Le 26:39; Jer 23:9; Eze 16:61; Eze 20:43; Eze 36:31)10And they shall know that I am the Lord. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.” (Nu 23:19)11Thus 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. (Eze 5:12; Eze 21:14; Eze 21:17; Eze 25:6)12He who is far off shall die of pestilence, and he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who is left and is preserved shall die of famine. Thus I will spend my fury upon them. (Eze 5:13; Eze 7:15)13And 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 mountaintops, under every green tree, and under every leafy oak, wherever they offered pleasing aroma to all their idols. (Ge 8:21; Isa 1:29; Jer 2:20; Eze 6:4; Eze 16:19; Eze 20:28; Ho 4:13)14And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land desolate and waste, in all their dwelling places, from the wilderness to Riblah.[2] Then they will know that I am the Lord.” (Nu 34:11; Isa 5:25; Eze 6:6; Eze 6:7; Eze 25:7; Eze 25:13; Eze 25:16; Eze 33:28; Eze 35:3)
1The word of the Lord came to me:2‘Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them3and say: “You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.4Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.5I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.6Wherever you live, the towns will be laid waste and the high places demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and devastated, your idols smashed and ruined, your incense altars broken down, and what you have made wiped out.7Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.8‘ “But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations.9Then in the nations where they have been carried captive, those who escape will remember me – how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts, which have turned away from me, and by their eyes, which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their detestable practices.10And they will know that I am the Lord; I did not threaten in vain to bring this calamity on them.11‘ “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out ‘Alas!’ because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the people of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague.12One who is far away will die of the plague, and one who is near will fall by the sword, and any one who survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I pour out my wrath on them.13And they will know that I am the Lord, when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak – places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.14And I will stretch out my hand against them and make the land a desolate waste from the desert to Diblah[1] – wherever they live. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” ’
Ezekiel prophesies against the mountains of Israel
1A message from the LORD came to me. The LORD said,2‘Son of man, turn your attention to the mountains of Israel. Prophesy against them.3Say, “Mountains of Israel, listen to the message of the LORD and King. Here is what he says to the mountains and hills. And here is what he says to the canyons and valleys. He tells them, ‘I will send swords to kill your people. I will destroy the high places where you worship other gods.4Your altars will be torn down. Your incense altars will be smashed. And I will kill your people in front of the statues of your gods.5I will put the dead bodies of Israelites in front of those statues. I will scatter your bones around your altars.6No matter where you live, the towns will be destroyed. The high places will be torn down. So your altars will be completely destroyed. The statues of your gods will be smashed to pieces. Your incense altars will be broken down. And everything you have made will be wiped out.7Your people will fall down dead among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.8‘ “ ‘But I will spare some of you. Some will escape from being killed by swords. You will be scattered among other lands and nations.9You will be taken away to those nations as prisoners. Those of you who escape will remember me. You will recall how much pain your unfaithful hearts gave me. You turned away from me. Your eyes longed to see the statues of your gods. You will hate yourselves because of all the evil things you have done. I hate those things too.10You will know that I am the LORD. I said I would bring trouble on you. And my warning came true.’ ” ’11The LORD and King said to me, ‘Clap your hands. Stamp your feet. Cry out, “How sad!” Do this because the people of Israel have done so many evil things. I hate those things. Israel will be destroyed by war, hunger and plague.12The one who is far away will die of the plague. The one who is near will be killed by swords. Anyone who is left alive and is spared will die of hunger. And in this way I will pour out my great anger on them.13Then they will know that I am the LORD. Their people will lie dead among the statues of their gods around their altars. Their bodies will lie on every high hill and every mountaintop. They will lie under every green tree and leafy oak tree. They used to offer sweet-smelling incense to all their gods at those places.14I will reach out my powerful hand against them. The land will become dry and empty. Those people will live from the desert all the way to Diblah. They will know that I am the LORD.’
Ezekiel 6
King James Version
1And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,2Son of man, set thy 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.4And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before 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.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.7And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall 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.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.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.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.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.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.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.
1Das Wort des HERRN erging an mich: (Eze 36:1)2Menschensohn, richte dein Gesicht auf die Berge Israels; sprich als Prophet zu ihnen3und sag: Ihr Berge Israels, hört das Wort GOTTES, des Herrn! So spricht GOTT, der Herr, zu den Bergen und Hügeln, zu den Schluchten und Tälern: Siehe, ich selbst werde das Schwert über euch bringen und eure Kulthöhen zerstören. (Le 26:30)4Eure Opferaltäre werden verwüstet und eure Räuchertische zerbrochen. Eure Erschlagenen lasse ich hinstürzen vor euren Götzen.5Die Leichen der Israeliten lege ich ihren Götzen zu Füßen. Eure Gebeine verstreue ich rings um eure Altäre. (2Ki 23:14)6Überall, wo ihr wohnt, werden die Städte verwüstet und die Kulthöhen veröden, damit eure Altäre verwüstet und öde, eure Götzen zerbrochen und verschwunden, eure Räuchertische zerschlagen und eure Machwerke vertilgt sind.7Mitten unter euch fallen die Erschlagenen. Dann werdet ihr erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin.8Und doch lasse ich einen Rest von euch übrig, die dem Schwert entkommen werden zu den Völkern, wenn ihr in die Länder zerstreut seid.9Die von euch, die entkommen sind, werden bei den Völkern, wohin sie weggeführt wurden, an mich denken; denn ich habe ihr treuloses Herz zerbrochen, das von mir gewichen ist, und ihre Augen, die treulos nach den Götzen schielten. Dann werden sie vor sich selbst Abscheu empfinden wegen des Bösen, das sie begangen haben durch alle ihre Gräuel,10und sie werden erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin. Ich habe nicht umsonst gedroht, dieses Unheil über sie zu bringen.11So spricht GOTT, der Herr: Klatsche mit deiner Hand, stampf mit dem Fuß und schreie: Wehe! wegen all der bösen Gräueltaten des Hauses Israel, das durch das Schwert, durch den Hunger und durch die Pest fallen wird.12Wer in der Ferne ist, wird durch die Pest sterben; wer nahe ist, wird durch das Schwert fallen. Wer übrig und verschont geblieben ist, wird durch den Hunger sterben. So vollende ich meinen Zorn an ihnen.13Und ihr werdet erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin: Wenn die Erschlagenen mitten unter ihren Götzen liegen, rings um ihre Altäre, auf jedem hohen Hügel, auf allen Bergeshöhen, unter jedem üppigen Baum und jeder schattigen Eiche, an der Stätte, wo sie all ihren Götzen den beruhigenden Duft ihrer Opfer spendeten. (1Ki 14:23; Eze 20:28)14Ich strecke meine Hand gegen sie aus und mache das Land zur Wüste und zur Öde, von der Steppe bis nach Ribla, überall, wo sie wohnen. Dann werden sie erkennen, dass ich der HERR bin.[1] (2Ki 25:21)
