New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 5
15 So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken.
16 When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.
17 Moreover, I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’"
Ezekiel 6
1 And the word of the Lord came to me saying,
2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them
3 and say, ’Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God 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.
4 So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.
5 I will also lay the dead bodies of the sons of Israel in front of their idols; and I will scatter your bones around your altars.
6 In all your dwellings, 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 brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.
7 The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
8 "However, I will leave a remnant, for you will have those who escaped the sword among the nations when you are scattered among the countries.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
