                                                                    3
            God, Because your multitude is greater then the them, And say, Ye mountaines of Israel, heare
            nations that are rounde about you, and ye haue the worde of the Lord God: thus sayth the Lord
            not walked in my statutes, neither haue ye kept God to the mountaines and to the hilles, to the
            my iudgements: no, ye haue not done according    riuers and to the valleis, Beholde, I, euen I will
            to the iudgements of the nations, that are rounde  bring a sworde vpon you, and I will destroy your
                                                                        4
                       8
            about you, Therefore thus saith the Lord God,    hie places: And your altars shalbe desolate, and
            Beholde, I, euen I come against thee, and will   your images of the sunne shalbe broken: and
            execute iudgement in the middes of thee, euen    I will cast downe your slaine men before your
            in the sight of the nations.  9  And I will doe in  idoles.  5  And I will lay the dead carkeises of the
            thee, that I neuer did before, neither will do any  children of Israel before their idoles, and I will
                                                             scatter your bones round about your altars. In
                                                                                                          6
            more the like, because of all thine abominations.
            10  For in the middes of thee, the fathers shall  all your dwelling places the cities shalbe desolate,
            eate their sonnes, and the sonnes shall eate their  and the hie places shalbe laide waste, so that
            fathers, and I will execute iudgement in thee, your altars shalbe made waste and desolate, and
            and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into your idoles shalbe broken, and cease, and your
            all the windes.  11  Wherefore, as I liue, saith the  images of thesunneshalbecut inpieces, andyour
            Lord God, Surely because thou hast defiled my    workes shalbe abolished.   7 And the slaine shall
            Sanctuarie with all thy filthinesse, and with all  fall in the middes of you, and ye shall knowe that
            thine abominations, therefore will I also destroy  I am the Lord.  8  Yet will I leaue a remnant, that
            thee, neither shall mine eye spare thee, neither you may haue some that shall escape the sword
            will I haue any pitie.  12  The third part of thee among the nations, when you shalbe scattred
            shall die with the pestilence, and with famine through the countreyes.     9  And they that escape
            shall they bee consumed in the middes of thee: of you, shall remember me among the nations,
            and another third part shall fall by the sword where they shalbe in captiuitie, because I am
            round about thee: and I will scatter the last grieued for their whorish hearts, which haue
            third part into all windes, and I will drawe out  departed from mee, and for their eyes, which
            a sword after them.   13  Thus shall mine anger  haue gone a whoring after their idoles, and they
            bee accomplished, and I will cause my wrath      shalbe displeased in them selues for the euils,
            to cease in them, and I will be comforted: and   which they haue committed in all their abomi-
            they shall knowe, that I the Lord haue spoke     nations.  10 And they shall knowe that I am the
            it in my zeale, when I haue accomplished my      Lord, and that I haue not saide in vaine, that I
            wrath in them.   14  Moreouer, I will make thee  woulde doe this euill vnto them.   11  Thus saith
            waste, and abhorred among the nations, that are  the Lord God, Smite with thine hand, and stretch
            round about thee, and in the sight of all that forth with thy foote, and say, Alas, for all the
            passe by.  15  So thou shalt bee a reproche and wicked abominations of the house of Israel: for
            shame, a chastisement and an astonishment vnto   they shall fall by the sworde, by the famine, and
            the nations, that are rounde about thee, when I by the pestilence.   12  He that is farre off, shall
            shall execute iudgements in thee, in anger and   dye of the pestilence, and he that is neere, shall
            in wrath, and in sharpe rebukes: I the Lord haue  fall by the sword, and hee that remaineth and
            spoken it.  16 When I shall sende vpon them the  is besieged, shall dye by the famine: thus will
            euill arrowes of famine, which shalbe for their  I accomplish my wrath vpon them.      13  Then ye
            destruction, and which I will sende to destroy   shall knowe, that I am ye Lord, when their slaine
            you: and I will encrease the famine vpon you, and  men shalbe among their idoles round about their
            wil breake your staffe of bread.  17 So will I send  altars, vpon euerie hie hill in al the toppes of
            vpon you famine, and euill beastes, and they shall  the mountaines, and vnder euery greene tree,
            spoyle thee, and pestilence and blood shall passe  and vnder euerie thicke oke, which is the place
            through thee, and I will bring the sworde vpon   where they did offer sweete sauour to all their
            thee: I the Lord haue spoken it.                 idoles.  14 So will I stretch mine hand vpon them,
                                   6                         and make the lande waste, and desolate from the
                                                             wildernes vnto Diblath in all their habitations,
              1  Again the worde of the Lord came vnto me, and they shall know, that I am the Lord.
