Ezekiel 39:1–16

Prophecy About Gog’s Judgment

¹“Now as for ^ayou, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, ¹chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;

²and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

³“And I will ^astrike your bow from your left hand and cause your arrows from your right hand to fall.

⁴“You will ^afall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as ^bfood to every ¹kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.

⁵“You will fall on the ¹open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares Lord Yahweh.

⁶“And I will send ^afire upon Magog and those who inhabit the ^bcoastlands securely; and they will know that I am Yahweh.

⁷“And My ^aholy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let My holy name be ^bprofaned anymore. And the ^cnations will know that I am Yahweh, the ^dHoly One in Israel.

⁸“Behold, it is coming, and it shall be done,” declares Lord Yahweh. “That is the day of which I have spoken.

⁹“Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will ^ago out and make ^bfires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and large shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears; and for seven years they will make fires of them.

¹⁰“They will not carry wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who made them into spoil and seize the ^aplunder of those who plundered them,” declares Lord Yahweh.

¹¹“And it will be in that day, that I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his multitude, and they will call it the valley of ¹Hamon-gog.

¹²“And for seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to ^acleanse the land.

¹³“Even all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be ¹unto their ^aname on the day that I ^bglorify Myself,” declares Lord Yahweh.

¹⁴“Now they will set apart men who will continually pass through the land, ^aburying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

¹⁵“And those who pass through the land will pass through, and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he will ¹set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of ²Hamon-gog.

¹⁶“And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.” ’
