The .vi. Chapter. He sheweth that the people shalbe plaged for the synne of Idolatrie. He prophecyeth the repentaunce of the remnaunt of the people, and their delyuera&ubar;ce. The destruccyon of the frowarde is prophecyed.

A    noteAnd the worde of the Lord came vnto me, sayinge: Thou sonne of man, turne thy face to the mo&ubar;taynes of Israel, that thou mayest prophecie vnto them, ∧ saye Heare the worde of the Lorde God, O ye mountaynes of Israell: Thus hath the Lorde God spok&ebar; to the mountaynes, hilles, valleyes and dales.

Beholde, I wyll brynge a swearde ouer you, ∧ destroye youre hye places: I wyll cast downe youre aulters, ∧ breake downe youre t&ebar;ples. Youre slayne men wyll I laye before youre goddes, and the deed carcases of the chyldren of Israell wyll I caste before their ymages, youre bones will I destroye rounde aboute youre aulters, and dwellynge places.

B   The cyties shalbe desolate, the hyllchapels layed waste: youre aulters destroyed, and broken: youre goddes caste downe and taken awaye, youre t&ebar;pels layde eauen wyth the grounde, youre owne worckes cleane rote oute.

Ierusalem.

Youre slayne men shall lye amonge you, that ye maye learne to knowe, how that I am the Lorde. noteThose that amonge you haue escaped the swearde, will I leaue amonge the Gentyles, for I wyll scatre you amonge the nacyons. And they that escape fr&obar; you, shall thyncke vp&obar; me amonge the Heathen, where they shalbe in captiuyte.

As for that whorysh ∧ vnfaythfull herte of theirs, wherwyth they runne awaye fro me, I wyll breake it: yee and put oute those eyes of theirs, that c&obar;mytte fornicacy&obar; with their Idols.

C   Then shall they be ashamed, and displeased wyth their selues, for the wyckednesses ∧ abhomynacions, which they haue done: and shall learne to knowe, how that it is not in vayne, that I the Lorde spake, to brynge soch mysery vpon them.

The Lorde sayde moreouer vnto me: Smyte thyne handes together, and stampe wyth thay fete, ∧ saye: Wo worth all the abhominacions and wickednesses of the house of Israel, for because of them, they shall perishe wyth the swearde, with honger ∧ wyth pestilence. Who so is farre of, shall dye of the pestilence: he that is nye at hande, shall perish with the swearde: and the other that are beseged, shall dye of honger.

D   Thus wyll I satisfye my wrothfull displeasure vpon them. And so shall ye learne to knowe, that I am the Lorde, when youre slayne men lye amonge youre goddes, and aboute youre aulters: vpon all hye hylles ∧ toppes of mountaynes, amonge all grene trees, amonge all thycke okes: euen in the places, where they dyd sacrifyce to all their Idols. I wyll stretch myne hande oute vpon th&ebar;, and wyll make the lande waste: So that it shall lye desolate and voyde, from the wyldernesse of Deblathah forth, thorow all their habitacyons: to learne them for to knowe, that I am the Lorde
