“And he said unto me, Son of man,
stand upon thy feet, and I shall speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day”

“The word of the Lord came to me: “Son of
man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them and say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: I am about to bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places. Your altars shall be demolished and your incense altars will be waste; and I will slay your people in front of ”your idols.

Warning:
“your altars shall be desolate and you images shall be broken”
“and the almond tree shall florish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden and desire shall fail”
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief.

“Tiresias although a mere spectator and
not indeed a character, is yet the most important personage in the poem, uniting all the rest. Just as the one-eyed merchant, seller of currants, melts into the Phoenician sailor, and the latter is not wholly distinct from Ferdinand, prince of Naples, so all the women are one women, and two sexes meet in Tiresias”

“I Tiresias, though blind, throbbing between two
livesOld man with wrinkled female breasts, can see”
“I Tiresias, old man with wrinkled dugs Perceived the scene, and foretold the rest - I too awaited the expected guest.”
“And I Tiresias have foresuffered all Enacted on this same divan or bed”
