2 "Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them
2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
2 "Son of man, now turn and face the mountains of Israel and preach against them:
2 "Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 6:2
Commentary on Ezekiel 6:1-7
(Read Ezekiel 6:1-7)
War desolates persons, places, and things esteemed most sacred. God ruins idolatries even by the hands of idolaters. It is just with God to make that a desolation, which we make an idol. The superstitions to which many trust for safety, often cause their ruin. And the day is at hand, when idols and idolatry will be as thoroughly destroyed from the professedly Christian church as they were from among the Jews.
