1 The Lord spoke to me.
2 “Mortal man,” he said, “look towards the mountains of Israel and give them my message.
3 Tell the mountains of Israel to hear the word of the Lord — to hear what I, the Sovereign Lord, am telling the mountains, the hills, the gorges, and the valleys: I will send a sword to destroy the places where people worship idols.
4 The altars will be torn down and the incense altars broken. All the people there will be killed in front of their idols.
5 I will scatter the corpses of the people of Israel; I will scatter their bones all round the altars.
