4 Your altars will be destroyed, and your incense burners will be smashed. I will kill people in front of your idols.
5 I will lay the dead bodies of the people of Israel in front of your idols, and I will scatter their bones around your altars.
6 Wherever people live, the cities will be ruined, and the worship sites will be wrecked. Your altars will be ruined and demolished. Your idols will be smashed and completely destroyed. Your incense burners will be cut down, and everything you have done will be wiped out.
7 People will be killed, and they will fall among you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
8 “‘But I will let some people live. Some people will escape the battle among the nations and be scattered throughout the countries.
9 Then those who escape will remember me among the nations where they are taken captive. I was hurt by their adulterous hearts, which turned away from me, and by their eyes, which lusted after idols. They will hate themselves for the evil and disgusting things that they have done.
10 Then you will know that I am the Lord and that the disaster I promised was not an empty threat.
