1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them
3. and 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.
4. Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols.
5. I will lay the dead bodies of the Israelites in front of their idols, and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
