Ezekiel 39:1–10

“Son of man, prophesy against Gogm and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince ofa Meshekn and Tubal.o 2 I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far northp and send you against the mountains of Israel.q 3 Then I will strike your bowr from your left hand and make your arrowss drop from your right hand. 4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birdst and to the wild animals.u 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.v 6 I will send firew on Magogx and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,y and they will knowz that I am the Lord.

7 “ ‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned,a and the nations will knowb that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.c 8 It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the dayd I have spoken of.

9 “ ‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows,e the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.f 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunderg those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.h
