1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Son of man, turn your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3. You are to say: Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God! This is what the Lord God says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4. Your altars will be desolated and your incense altars smashed. I will throw down your slain in front of your idols.
5. I will lay the corpses of the Israelites in front of their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
