“Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Tell him, ‘The Lord and King says, “Gog, I am against you. You are the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. ²But I will turn you around. I will drag you along. I will bring you from the far north. I will send you against the mountains of Israel. ³Then I will knock your bow out of your left hand. I will make your arrows drop from your right hand.

⁴“ ‘ “You will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. You and all of your troops will die there. So will the nations that join you. I will feed you to all kinds of birds that eat dead bodies. So they and the wild animals will eat you up. ⁵You will fall dead in the open fields. I have spoken,” announces the Lord and King.

⁶“ ‘ “I will send fire on the land of Magog. It will burn up the people who live in safety on the coast. So they will know that I am the Lord.

⁷“ ‘ “I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I will no longer let them treat my name as if it were not holy. Then the nations will know that I am the Holy One in Israel. I am the Lord. ⁸The day I will judge you is coming. You can be sure of it,” announces the Lord and King. “It is the day I have spoken about.

⁹“ ‘ “At that time those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and light a fire. They will use it to burn up the weapons. That includes small and large shields. It also includes bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. It will take seven years to burn all of them up. ¹⁰People will not gather wood from the fields. They will not cut the forests down. Instead, they will burn the weapons. And they will rob those who robbed them. They will steal from those who stole from them,” announces the Lord and King.
