Ezekiel 39:1–10

Prophecy against Gog—Invaders Destroyed

¹“And ^ayou, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says the Lord ¹God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, ²prince of Rosh, 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“I will ^astrike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand.

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 the Lord God.

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

⁷“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 the Lord, the ^dHoly One in Israel.

⁸“Behold, it is coming and it shall be done,” declares the Lord God. “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 bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them.

¹⁰“They will not take 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 despoiled them and seize the ^aplunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.
