Ezekiel 6 — Context

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Son of man, let your face be turned to the mountains of Israel, and be a prophet to them, and say,

You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.

And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.
