5. I will scatter the corpses of the people of Israel; I will scatter their bones all round the altars.
6. All the cities of Israel will be destroyed, so that all their altars and their idols will be smashed to pieces, their incense altars will be shattered, and everything they made will disappear.
7. People will be killed everywhere, and those who survive will acknowledge that I am the Lord.
8. “I will let some escape the slaughter and be scattered among the nations,
9. where they will live in exile. There they will remember me and know that I have punished them and disgraced them, because their faithless hearts deserted me and they preferred idols to me. And they will be disgusted with themselves because of the evil and degrading things they have done.
