### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ezekiel6.11-14)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Again, the Lord declares how He will pour out His wrath upon the people of
|
||
|
|
Israel, and why. Their abominations that they did by sacrificing to idols has
|
||
|
|
lead them to be killed by sword, pestilence, and famine. Every single altar,
|
||
|
|
high place, and oak tree where sacrifices were made will be defiled by human
|
||
|
|
blood.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So great will be the slaughter that the entire Promised Land, from the
|
||
|
|
wilderness of Arabia in the south to Riblah in what is now northern Lebanon
|
||
|
|
will be made desolate and a waste land. So complete will be the destruction
|
||
|
|
that those who witness it will know that only the Lord could accomplish it.

Only Your goodness can judge sin without equivocation. Wash us clean so that we
|
||
|
|
may see Your holiness. Break our hearts of stone and renew them as hearts of
|
||
|
|
flesh. We are as sinful as Israel was, yet You loved them and You love us; be
|
||
|
|
our salvation in our time of need and we will live in the day of Your wrath.
