1. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
2. “Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them.
3. Say: mountains of Israel, hear the word of Adonai!” Thus says Adonai Elohim concerning the mountains and concerning the hills, concerning the wadis and concerning the valleys: “Behold, I will bring a sword on you. I will destroy your high places.
4. Your altars will become desolate. Your sun pillars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5. I will lay the corpses of Bnei-Yisrael before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6. In all your dwellings the cities will be desolate. The high places will be deserted. Your altars will be laid waste and made desolate, your idols broken and destroyed, your sun pillars cut down and your works blotted out.
7. The slain will fall in your midst. Then you will know that I am Adonai.
8. “Yet I will leave a remnant, some that escape the sword among the nations, when you have been scattered through the countries.
9. The survivors will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I was crushed by their adulterous heart that has strayed from Me and their eyes which have lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils that they committed in all their abominations.
10. They will know that I am Adonai. I have not warned in vain that I would do this evil to them.”
