Ezekiel 6

YHWH commands Ezekiel to prophesy against the mountains of Israel, declaring judgment by sword upon the high places (בָּמוֹת), altars, and idols, where the slain and scattered bones of idolaters will lie as proof of his wrath.[1][2][4] A remnant spared from sword, famine, and pestilence will know YHWH through their shame and loathing for past abominations, as the land is made desolate from wilderness to Diblah.[2][3]
