1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, 3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the 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. 4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. 5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars. 6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. 7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
8 ¶ Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 10 And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
11 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 12 He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. 14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Egamiz butparastlikni hukm qiladi
1 Egamiz menga Oʻz soʻzini ayon qildi: 2 “Ey inson, Isroil togʻlariga yuzlan. Ularga qarshi shunday bashorat qil: 3 «Ey Isroil togʻlari, Egamiz Rabbiyning soʻzlarini eshitinglar! Egamiz Rabbiy togʻlaru qirlarga, jarliklaru vodiylarga shunday deb aytmoqda: Men Oʻzim sizlarga qarshi qilich yuboraman, butlarga atalgan barcha sajdagohlaringizni vayron qilaman. 4 Qurbongohlaringiz buzib tashlanadi, tutatqi qurbongohlaringiz parcha–parcha qilinadi. Men odamlaringizni butlaringiz oldida qirib yuboraman. 5 Isroil xalqining jasadlarini butlaringiz oldiga tashlayman, suyaklarini qurbongohlaringiz atrofiga sochaman. 6 Hamma shaharlaringizni yakson qilaman, sajdagohlaringizni vayron etaman. Shunda qurbongohlaringiz buziladi, butlaringiz parcha–parcha qilinadi, tutatqi qurbongohlaringiz qoʻporib tashlanadi, qoʻllaringiz yaratgan hamma narsa supurib tashlanadi. 7 Butun yurt jasadlarga toʻladi. Oʻshanda Egangiz Men ekanligimni bilib olasizlar.
8 Men baʼzi bir odamlarning jonini qirgʻindan saqlab qolaman. Biroq ularni boshqa yurtlarga, begona xalqlar orasiga quvib yuboraman. 9 Ular begona xalqlar orasiga surgun qilinganda Meni eslaydilar. Meni rad etgan vafosiz qalblariyu butlar ketidan qaragan hirsli koʻzlari dilimga qanchalik ozor yetkazganini tushunib oladilar. Ular qilgan qabihliklari va jirkanch ishlari uchun oʻzlaridan oʻzlari hazar qilib, nafratlanadilar. 10 Oʻshanda Egasi Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar. Boshlariga keladigan falokat haqida Men ularni jiddiy ogohlantirganimni bilib oladilar.»”
11 Egamiz Rabbiy menga dedi: “Qani boʻl, koʻksingga ur, yerni tep. Shunday deb xitob qil: «Qabihlikka qoʻl urgan Isroil xalqining holiga voy!» Axir, ular qilichdan, ocharchiligu oʻlatdan nobud boʻladilar! 12 Uzoqlarda boʻlganlar oʻlatdan qirilib ketadi. Yaqinda boʻlganlar qilichdan oʻtkaziladi. Omon qolganlar ocharchilikdan nobud boʻladi. Shu yoʻl bilan Men ularning ustilariga qahrimni sochaman. 13 Ularning jasadlari butlari orasida, qurbongohlari atrofida, har bir baland tepalikda, barcha togʻ choʻqqilarida, har bir yashil daraxtu sersoya eman ostida — xalqim butlarga atab xushboʻy tutatqilar tutatgan har bir joyda yotadi. Oʻshanda omon qolganlari Egasi Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar. 14 Men ularga qarshi qoʻlimni koʻtaraman. Ularning butun yurtini, sahrodan tortib, to Rivlo shahrigacha vayron qilib, tashlandiq yerga aylantiraman. Oʻshanda ular Egasi Men ekanligimni bilib oladilar.”
