Ezekiel 6:2

Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

Set thy face toward ... mountains of Israel - i:e., of Palestine in general. The mountains are addressed by personification; implying that the Israelites themselves are incurable, and unworthy of anymore appeals; so the prophet sent to Jeroboam did not deign to address the king, but addressed the altar (). The mountains are specified, as being the scene of Jewish idolatries on "the high places" ().
