Ezekiel 6:8

Read in context

Ezekiel 6:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 Wherever you live, the cities will be laid waste and the high places will be demolished, so that your altars will be laid waste and desecrated, your idols smashed and obliterated, your incense altars cut down, and your works blotted out.

7 The slain will fall among you, and you will know that I am the LORD.

8 Yet I will leave a remnant, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the nations and throughout the lands.

9 Then in the nations to which they have been carried captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been grieved by their adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that lusted after idols. So they will loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.

10 And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not declare in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.
