Ezekiel 39

¹And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

²And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:

³And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

⁴On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

⁵You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.

⁶And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who are living in the sea-lands without fear: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

⁷And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

⁸See, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord; this is the day of which I have given word.

⁹And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:

¹⁰And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.

¹¹And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.

¹²And the children of Israel will be seven months putting them in the earth, so as to make the land clean.

¹³And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.

¹⁴And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.

¹⁵And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.

¹⁶And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.

¹⁷And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.

¹⁸The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

¹⁹You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.

²⁰At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.

²¹And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.

²²So the children of Israel will be certain that I am the Lord their God, from that day and for the future.

²³And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

²⁴In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.

²⁵For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.

²⁶And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

²⁷When I have taken them back from among the peoples and got them together out of the lands of their haters, and have made myself holy in them before the eyes of a great number of nations.

²⁸And they will be certain that I am the Lord their God, because I sent them away as prisoners among the nations, and have taken them together back to their land; and I have not let one of them be there any longer.

²⁹And my face will no longer be covered from them: for I have sent the out-flowing of my spirit on the children of Israel, says the Lord.

Ezekiel 39

¹"You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

²and I will turn you around, and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you on the mountains of Israel;

³and I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

⁴You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

⁵You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it," says the Lord God.

⁶I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷"'My holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

⁸Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord God; this is the day about which I have spoken.

⁹"'Those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years;

¹⁰so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says the Lord God.

¹¹"'It shall happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those who pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon Gog.

¹²Seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

¹³Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord God.

¹⁴They shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through, those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

¹⁵Those who pass through the land shall pass through; and when any sees a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

¹⁶Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land.'

¹⁷"You, son of man, thus says the Lord God: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, 'Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

¹⁸You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

¹⁹You shall eat fat until you be full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

²⁰You shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war,' says the Lord God.

²¹"'I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

²²So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day and forward.

²³The nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword.

²⁴According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions did I to them; and I hid my face from them.'

²⁵"Therefore thus says the Lord God: 'Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name.

²⁶They shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid;

²⁷when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.

²⁸They shall know that I am the Lord their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land; and I will leave none of them any more there;

²⁹neither will I hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,' says the Lord God."
