Bible in Basic English
"But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries."
— Ezekiel 6:8, Bible in Basic English
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.
In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.
And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.
And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord: not for nothing did I say that I would do this evil to them.
This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.
