Ezekiel 6:6

In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.

In all your dwellingplaces {H4186} the cities {H5892} shall be laid waste {H2717}, and the high places {H1116} shall be desolate {H3456}; that your altars {H4196} may be laid waste {H2717} and made desolate {H816}, and your idols {H1544} may be broken {H7665} and cease {H7673}, and your images {H2553} may be cut down {H1438}, and your works {H4639} may be abolished {H4229}.

Everywhere you live, the cities will be destroyed and the high places wrecked; so that your altars can be destroyed and wrecked, your idols broken and abolished, your pillars for sun-worship cut down and the things you have made wiped out.

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.

In all your dwelling-places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your sun-images may be hewn down, and your works may be abolished.
