Ezek. 6:1–7:27 These two extended oracles are both addressed to “geography”: the “mountains” (6:2) and “land” (7:2) of Israel, although in both cases the real audience is human (see 6:6).
Ezek. 6:2 set your face. Another favorite phrase of Ezekiel, expressing determination. The hills and mountains that Ezekiel addresses were linked to improper worship (see 1 Kings 14:22–23; 2 Chron. 21:11; Jer. 3:6).
Ezek. 6:3 The treaty curses of Leviticus 26 are the background for this verse. This is especially clear in the threat to bring a sword upon you (also Ezek. 5:17; 11:8; 14:17; 29:8;; 33:2). The high places were cultic worship sites that were to be destroyed.
Ezek. 6:8–10 leave some of you alive. Complete destruction is avoided with the promise that a remnant will be spared (compare 5:3). The survivors’ sorrow is matched by the striking description of God’s deep grief at the people’s idolatry: I have been broken (6:9). This is the same verb that God uses in v. 6 to describe what will happen to the idols.
