1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy to them, 3 and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: "Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places. 4 Your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken. I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 5 I will lay the dead bodies of the children of Israel before their idols. I will scatter your bones around your altars. 6 In all your dwelling places, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. 7 The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.

8 "‘"Yet I will leave a remnant, in that you will have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries. 9 Those of you that escape will remember me among the nations where they are carried captive, how I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with their eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols. Then they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 10 They will know that I am Yahweh. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them."’

11 "The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Strike with your hand, and stamp with your foot, and say, "Alas!", because of all the evil abominations of the house of Israel; for they will fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 12 He who is far off will die of the pestilence. He who is near will fall by the sword. He who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. Thus I will accomplish my wrath on them. 13 You will know that I am Yahweh when their slain men are among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, under every green tree, and under every thick oak—the places where they offered pleasant aroma to all their idols. 14 I will stretch out my hand on them and make the land desolate and waste, from the wilderness toward Diblah, throughout all their habitations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.’"

1 耶和华的话临到我说：

2 "人子啊！ 你要面向以色列的群山说预言，

3 说： ‘以色列的群山， 当听主耶和华的话！ 主耶和华对大山、小山、溪涧和山谷这样说： 看哪！ 我必使刀剑临到你， 毁灭你们的邱坛。

4 你们的祭坛必然荒废， 你们的香坛要被打碎； 我要使你们被杀的人倒在你们的偶像面前。

5 我要把以色列人的尸体放在他们的偶像面前， 又把你们的骸骨拋散在你们祭坛的周围。

6 在你们居住的一切地方， 城镇都必荒凉， 邱坛都必荒废， 以致你们的祭坛荒废被弃， 你们的偶像被打碎、被消灭， 你们的香坛要被砍下， 你们所制造的要被除灭；

7 被杀的人必倒在你们中间， 你们就知道我是耶和华。

8 "‘但我要保留一些余剩的人， 你们分散在各地的时候， 你们必有人在列国中从刀剑下逃出来。

9 那时， 逃脱的人必在被掳去的列国中想起我怎样为了他们而伤痛， 因为他们动了淫乱的心离弃我， 他们邪淫的眼恋慕偶像； 那时他们必为了自己所行的恶事和他们一切可憎的事厌恶自己。

10 他们必知道我是耶和华， 我说要降这灾祸在他们身上的话并不是空话。’"

11 主耶和华这样说： "你要拍手顿足， 说： ‘哀哉！ 因以色列家一切可憎的恶事， 他们必倒在刀剑、饥荒、瘟疫之下。’

12 在远处的必因瘟疫死亡， 在近处的必倒在刀剑之下， 那余下被围困的也必因饥荒死亡。我必这样在他们身上完全发尽我的烈怒。

13 他们被杀的人倒在他们偶像的中间， 在他们祭坛的周围， 就是在各高冈各山顶上， 在每一棵翠绿的树下和茂盛的橡树下， 就是他们献馨香的祭给一切偶像的地方。那时， 他们就知道我是耶和华。

14 我必伸手攻击他们， 使他们一切居住的地方， 从旷野到第伯拉他， 都变成非常荒凉， 他们就知道我是耶和华。"
