New King James Version (NKJV)
Ezekiel 5
15 So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken.
16 When I send against them the terrible arrows of famine which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, I will increase the famine upon you and cut off your supply of bread.
17 So I will send against you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’ "
Ezekiel 6
1 Now 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, ’O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God!’ Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: "Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.
4 Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
5 And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.
6 In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate, so that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, your idols may be broken and made to cease, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
8 "Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
