Eze 6:3
6:3 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.

        accustomed to commit their idolaters, threatening them
        with destruction.

Eze 6:9
6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the
    nations to which they shall be carried captives, because I
    am broken with their adulterous heart, which hath departed
    from me, and with their eyes, which play the harlot with
    their idols: and they {e} shall lothe themselves for the
    evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

    (e) They will be ashamed to see that their hope in idols was
        in vain, and so will repent.

6:11 Thus saith the Lord GOD; {f} Smite with thy 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.

     (f) By these signs he would that the prophet would signify
         the great destruction to come.

6:13 Then shall {g} ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their
     slain [men] shall be among their idols all around their
     altars, upon every high hill, on all the tops of the
     mountains, and under every green tree, and under every
     thick oak, the place where they offered sweet savour to all
     their idols.

     (g) That is, all nations when you will see my judgments.

Eze 6:14
6:14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land

     toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall
     know that I [am] the LORD.

     (h) Which was in Syria and bordered on Israel, or from the
         wilderness which was south, to Diblath which was north:
         meaning the while country.
