Ezekiel 6:4

"and say, ‘You mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD! The Lord GOD says to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys: “Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword on you, and I will destroy your high places."

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 6:4, the Lord speaks through the prophet to all of nature—mountains, hills, watercourses, and valleys—as if they were witnesses to Israel's judgment. This vivid imagery underscores God’s sovereignty over creation and His的决心通过审判来揭示以色列的罪。同时，这也预示了将要到来的历史事件和神对列国的刑罚。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Images -See the margin and margin reference, and theEzekiel 8:16note. Idols -The Phoenicians were in the habit of setting up “heaps” or “pillars” of stone in honor of their gods, which renders the use of the word more appropriate.
