+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ezekiel6.1-10)
+
+Now the Lord gives Ezekiel a condemnation against the mountains of Israel. The
+mountains, or "high places" were often the sites of altars and shrines,
+sometimes to the Lord, in spite of His prohibition against them, but oftentimes
+to the gods of Canaan or the surrounding nations. The idea is that if you are
+higher up on the mountain, you are closer to heaven, and your sacrifices are
+quicker to be noticed. After suffering them for Israel's entire history, the
+Lord declares that He is going to destroy all of these idolatrous sites. The
+people who prayed there and sacrificed to the idols will be killed and left
+there at the altars. The rocks and statues will be shown to have no power
+before the Lord God. The gods the people relied upon have no power to protect
+themselves, much less their worshippers.
+
+Despite this desolation, a few people will survive and be scattered abroad into
+other nations. They will escape the sword and plagues that fall on Judah and
+will tell of the calamity that God has visited upon them. They will tell how
+their "whoring" (_v. 9_) after other gods has broken the Lord's heart. It is no
+coincidence that _idolatry_ and _adultery_ are such similar words. God's
+covenant with Israel is very much like the covenant of marriage. God faithfully
+loves and protects His chosen people for centuries, but they continually spurn
+Him by following after idols that cannot save, even literally whoring
+themselves by employing temple prostitutes to curry the favor of the gods of
+rain and harvest. As they become refugees, the Lord says the Israelites will
+realize how vile they have been and that the curses that God has pronounced on
+them is completely justified.

+Help us understand the depths of our sin, so that we can appreciate the
+immensity of Your love for us that lets You forgive us before we were even
+born.
