Contextual Overview
1And the word of Yahweh came to me saying, 2"Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them 3and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of Lord Yahweh! Thus says Lord Yahweh to the mountains, the hills, the ravines, and the valleys: "Behold, I Myself am going to bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places. 4So your altars will become desolate, and your incense altars will be broken; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols. 5I will also put the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones all around your altars. 6In all your places of habitation, cities will become waste, and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and cease, your incense altars may be cut in pieces, and your works may be blotted out. 7The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am Yahweh.
