² Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy ^[a]unto them, ³ and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to the mountains and to the hills, to the ^[b]watercourses and to the valleys: Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. ⁴ And your altars shall become desolate, and your sun-images shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
