And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God: thus saith the Lord God to the [a]mountains and to the hills, to the rivers and to the valleys, Behold, I, even I will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places:

And your altars shall be desolate, and your images of the [b]Sun shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their [c]idols, and I will (A)scatter your bones round about your altars.

In all your dwelling places the cities shall be desolate, and the high places shall be laid waste, so that your altars shall be made waste and desolate, and your idols shall be broken and cease, and your images of the Sun shall be cut in pieces, and your works shall be abolished.
