1Derefter sagde Herren til mig:2„Du menneske, se ud over Israels bjergland og profetér imod landet og dets indbyggere. Du skal sige:3Israels bjergland, hør Gud Herrens ord. Hør efter, alle bakker og kløfter og dale. Med draget sværd kommer jeg imod jer, for jeg har besluttet at ødelægge jeres offerhøje.4Alle jeres byer bliver styrtet i grus og brændt, og jeres offersteder bliver sløjfet. Jeres afguder bliver smadret, og ligene af deres tilbedere kommer til at ligge og flyde mellem altrene. Da skal det gå op for enhver, at jeg er Herren.8Kun enkelte af jer får lov at overleve, og den rest, der bliver tilbage, skal spredes blandt verdens nationer.9Men under eksilet vil I tænke dybt over tingene, og I vil forstå, hvor knust jeg blev over jeres troløse hjerter og lystne øjne, der higede efter de afskyelige afguder. Da vil I omsider føle lede ved al den ondskab, I har begået,10og I vil indse, at jeg er Herren, og at mine ord om straf og ulykke ikke var tomme ord.”11Herren fortsatte: „Slå hænderne sammen, tramp med fødderne og råb: ‚Ak!’ af forfærdelse over alle de afskyelige ting, som Israels folk har gjort, for nu kommer konsekvenserne: krig, hungersnød og epidemier.12De, der tager del i kampen, vil blive dræbt af sværdet, og de, der er langt væk, vil dø af sygdom. De overlevende rammes af hungersnøden. Sådan viser jeg min vrede og straffer dem.13Når jeres døde ligger spredt på offerhøjene og under de grønne træer mellem jeres afguder og knuste altre, hvor de engang ofrede røgelse til dem, vil I indse, at jeg alene er Herren.14Jeg knuser jer og ødelægger jeres byer lige fra ørkenen i syd til Ribla i nord. Så vil I indse, at jeg er Herren.”

Judgment Against Idolatry
1The word of the Lord came to me:2“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,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.4Your altars shall become desolate, and your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain before your idols.5And I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.6Wherever you dwell, the cities shall be waste and the 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.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,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.10And they shall know that I am the Lord. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”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.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.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.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.* Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
