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.

¹¹“ ‘ “Gog, at that time I will bury you in a grave in Israel. It will be in the valley where people travel east of the Dead Sea. It will block the path of travelers. That is because you and your huge armies will be buried there. So it will be called The Valley of Gog’s Armies.

¹²“ ‘ “It will take seven months for the people of Israel to bury the bodies. They will do it to make the land ‘clean’ again. ¹³All of the people in the land will bury them. That will bring glory to me. It will be a time to remember,” announces the Lord and King.

¹⁴“ ‘ “After the seven months are over, men will be hired to finish the job of making the land ‘clean’ again. Some will go all through it. They will look for any remaining human bones on the ground. Other people will bury the bones. ¹⁵So some will go through the land. When they see a bone, they will put a marker beside it. Then those who dig the graves will take it to The Valley of Gog’s Armies. There they will bury it. ¹⁶That is how they will make the land ‘clean’ again.” ’ ” Also a town called Gog’s Armies will be located there.

¹⁷The Lord and King said to me, “Son of man, speak to every kind of bird. Call out to all of the wild animals. Tell them, ‘Gather together. Come from everywhere. Gather around the sacrifice I am preparing for you. It is the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat human bodies and drink human blood.

¹⁸“ ‘You will eat the bodies of mighty men. You will drink the blood of the princes of the earth. You will eat their bodies and drink their blood as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls. You will enjoy it as if you were eating the fattest animals from Bashan.

¹⁹“ ‘So I am preparing a sacrifice for you. You will eat fat until you are completely full. You will drink blood until you are drunk. ²⁰At my table you will eat horses, riders, mighty men and soldiers until you are full,’ announces the Lord and King.

²¹“ ‘I will show all of the nations my glory. They will see how I punish them when I use my powerful hand against them. ²²From that time on, the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God.
