Ezekiel 39:9–22

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.

¹¹“On that day 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 ¹horde, and they will call it the valley of ²Hamon-gog.

¹²“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 ¹to their ^arenown on the day that I ^bglorify Myself,” declares the Lord God.

¹⁴“They will set apart men who will constantly 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“As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man’s bone, then 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.” ’

¹⁷“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every ¹kind of ^abird and to every beast of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice which I am going to ^bsacrifice for you, as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

¹⁸“You will ^aeat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were ^brams, lambs, goats and ^cbulls, all of them fatlings of ^dBashan.

¹⁹“So you will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

²⁰“You will be glutted at My table with ^ahorses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.

²¹“And I will set My ^aglory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them.

²²“And the house of Israel will ^aknow that I am the Lord their God from that day onward.
