Ezekiel 39

¹“But as for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am above you, O Gog, prince of the head of Meshech and Tubal.

²And I will turn you around, and I will lead you away, and I will cause you to rise up from the parts of the north. And I will bring you over the mountains of Israel.

³And I will strike your bow in your left hand, and I will cast away your arrows from your right hand.

⁴You will fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your companies, and your peoples who are with you. I have given you over to the wild animals, to the birds, and to every flying thing, and to the beasts of the earth, in order to be devoured.

⁵You will fall upon the face of the field. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.

⁶And I will send a fire upon Magog, and upon those who are living confidently in the islands. And they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷And I will make known my holy name in the midst of my people, Israel, and my holy name will no longer be defiled. And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

⁸Behold, it approaches, and it is done, says the Lord God. This is the day, about which I have spoken.

⁹And the inhabitants from the cities of Israel will go forth, and they will kindle and burn the weapons, the shields and the spears, the bows and the arrows, and the staff and the lance. And they will kindle fires with them for seven years.

¹⁰And they will not carry wood from the countryside, and they will not cut from the forests. For they will kindle the weapons with fire. And they will prey upon those who had preyed upon them, and they will plunder those who had plundered them, says the Lord God.

¹¹And this shall be in that day: I will give Gog a renowned place as a sepulcher in Israel, the valley of the wayfarers to the east of the sea, which will cause astonishment in those who pass by. And in that place, they will bury Gog and all his multitude, and it will be called the valley of the multitude of Gog.

¹²And the house of Israel will bury them, so that they may cleanse the land, for seven months.

¹³Then all the people of the earth will bury them, and this shall be for them a renowned day, on which I have been glorified, says the Lord God.

¹⁴And they shall appoint men to continually examine the earth, so that they may seek out and bury those who have remained on the surface of the earth, so that they may cleanse it. Then, after seven months, they will begin to seek.

¹⁵And they will go around, traveling the earth. And when they will have seen the bone of a man, they will station a marker beside it, until the undertakers may bury it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.

¹⁶And the name of the city will be: the Multitude. And they shall cleanse the earth.

¹⁷As for you, then, son of man, thus says the Lord God: Say to every flying thing, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble! Hurry! Rush together from every side to my victim, which I have immolated for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel, so that you may consume flesh, and drink blood!

¹⁸You shall eat the flesh of the powerful, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams and lambs and he-goats and bulls, and of fattened birds and all that is fat.

¹⁹And you shall consume the fat unto satiation, and you shall drink the blood unto inebriation, from the victim that I will immolate for you.

²⁰And you shall be satiated, upon my table, from horses and powerful horsemen, and from all the men of war, says the Lord God.

²¹And I will set my glory among the Gentiles. And all the nations shall see my judgment, which I have accomplished, and my hand, which I have laid upon them.

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

²³And the Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel was taken captive because of their own iniquity, because they abandoned me. And so I concealed my face from them, and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

²⁴I have acted toward them in accord with their uncleanness and wickedness, and so I concealed my face from them.

²⁵Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Now I will lead back the captivity of Jacob, and I will take pity upon the entire house of Israel. And I will act with zeal on behalf of my holy name.

²⁶And they shall bear their shame and all their transgression, by which they betrayed me, though they were living in their own land confidently, dreading no one.

²⁷And I will lead them back from among the peoples, and I will gather them together from the lands of their enemies, and I will be sanctified in them, in the sight of the many nations.

²⁸And they shall know that I am the Lord, their God, because I carried them away to the nations, and I gathered them upon their own land, and I did not abandon any of them there.

²⁹And I will no longer conceal my face from them, for I have poured out my Spirit upon the entire house of Israel, says the Lord God.”

Ezekiel 39

¹And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.

²And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel.

³And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

⁴Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured.

⁵Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

⁶And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

⁸Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken.

⁹And the inhabitants shall go forth of the cities of Israel, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields, and the spears, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the pikes: and they shall burn them with fire seven years.

¹⁰And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.

¹¹And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog.

¹²And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.

¹³And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God.

¹⁴And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall begin to seek.

¹⁵And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up sign by it, till the buriers bury it in the valley, of the multitude of Gog.

¹⁶And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse the land.

¹⁷And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood.

¹⁸You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat.

¹⁹And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you.

²⁰And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God.

²¹And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

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

²³And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.

²⁴I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.

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

²⁶And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man:

²⁷And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations.

²⁸And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there.

²⁹And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
