The worship sites at Aven — where Israel went completely off track — are going to be wiped out. Weeds and thorns will grow all over their altars. People will be so desperate they'll beg the mountains to bury them and the hills to crush them.

Then he said to me, 'This is where my throne sits, where I plant my feet — this is my home with the people of Israel forever. And they won't mess up my sacred name anymore with their betrayal and unfaithfulness, not them or their leaders, not with their corrupt worship or by burying their dead kings in these holy places.'

So here's what you need to tell them — this is straight from the Lord God: Listen up, my people, I'm about to open up your graves and bring you back to life, then take you home to Israel.
