And your altars shall be laid waste, And your sun-pillars shall be broken in pieces, - And I will cause your slain to fall before your manufactured gods;

And the slain shall fall in your midst, So shall ye nod that I a Yahweh.

So shall ye know that I, am Yahweh, In that their slain are in the midst of their manufactured gods, on every side of their altars, - Upon every high hl In all the tops of the mountains and Under every green tree and Under every tangled oak, The place where they offered a satisfying odour to all their manufactured gods.

And he said unto them Defile ye the house and fl the courts with the slain, - go ye forth! So they went forth and smote in the city. s

Ye have multiplied your slain in this city,- And have fled her streets with slain.

Thou, therefore, son of man, Prophesy, and smite thy hands together, And let the sword smite twice thrice the sword of the slain! the same is the great sword of the slain, that which hemmeth them in.

And her daughters that are in the field: with the sword shall be slain: ho shall they know that I am Yahweh.

He, and his people with him the terrible ones of the nations are about to be brought in to destroy the land,- Therefore shall they unsheathe their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain;

And I will fill his mountains with his slain, - As for thy hills and thy hollows and all thy channels, they who are thrust through by the sword shall fall therein:

Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the spirit, Prophesy, Son of man. and thou shalt say unto the spirit. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh- From the four winds, come thou, O spirit, And breathe into these slain That they may live.
