Berean Study BibleInternational Standard Version
1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,1The LORD continued with his message to me.
2“Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.2"Son of Man," he said, "turn your face to oppose the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them.
3You are to say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD 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.3Tell the mountains of Israel to listen as the Lord GOD speaks. This is what the Lord GOD has to say to the mountains, hills, streams, and the valleys: 'Look! I'm about to bring my sword against you. I'm going to destroy your high places.
4Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will cast down your slain before your idols.4Your altars will become desolate and your sun pillars will be shattered. I'll throw your slain down right in front of your idols.
5I will lay the corpses of the Israelites before their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.5I'll place the corpses of the Israelis in front of their idols. I'll scatter your bones around your altar.
6Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.6In all the places where you live, the cities will be desolate. The high places will also be desolate so that your altars will be laid waste, bearing the punishment appropriate to them. Your idols will be shattered, your sun pillars will be hewn down, and your works will be obliterated.
7The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.7The fatally wounded among you will fall, and at that time you'll know that I am the LORD.
8Yet I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.8I'll leave a remnant among you—those who will escape the sword when I'll have scattered you throughout the earth.
9Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.9Your survivors will remember me among the nations where they'll be taken captives. I've been crushed by their unfaithful hearts that have turned against me.
10And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.10Then they'll know that I am the LORD. I didn't declare this evil that's intended for them without a reason.'"
11This is what the Lord GOD says: Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and cry out “Alas!” because of all the wicked abominations of the house of Israel, who will fall by sword and famine and plague.11This is what the Lord GOD says: "Clap your hands and stamp your feet! Say, 'Oh, no!' Because of all the detestable evil that has come from Israel's house, they'll fall by the sword, famine, and pestilence.
12He who is far off will die by the plague, he who is near will fall by the sword, and he who remains will die by famine. So I will vent My fury upon them.12The one who lives far away will die by pestilence and the one who is near will die violently. The survivors and their surveillance details will die by famine as I exhaust my rage against them.
13Then you will know that I am the LORD, when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and leafy oak—the places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.13"You'll learn that I am the LORD, when the fatally wounded will be among their idols, around their altars, on every hill, on top of the mountains, under every luxuriant tree, and under all the full-grown foliage—every place where they've offered fragrant aromas to all their idols.
14I will stretch out My hand against them, and wherever they live I will make the land a desolate waste, from the wilderness to Diblah. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’ ”14I'll stretch out my hands to strike them and send devastation to the land, from the wilderness of Diblah, throughout all their dwelling places. Then they'll know that I am the LORD."
