12 A third o part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter p a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

threatened.

6 In all your dwelling-places 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 3 images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and e ye shall know that I am the LORD.

8 Yet will I leave a remnant, f 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 g me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken h with their whorish i heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, k which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe 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 m with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for n 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 o 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 p my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, 4 more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD. CHAPTER VII.
