Ezekiel 39:1–29
39 “And ayou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, 1the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will bturn you around and lead you on, cbringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 dYou shall 2fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; eI will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall 3fall on 4the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 f“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live 5in security in gthe coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. 7 hSo I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them iprofane My holy name anymore. jThen the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. 8 kSurely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day lof which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the 6javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; mand they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.
11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of 7Hamon Gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, nin order to cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain orenown for it on the day that pI am glorified,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of 8a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order qto cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall 9set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be 1Hamonah. Thus they shall rcleanse the land.” ’
17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, s‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
t“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My usacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal von the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 wYou shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them xfatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 yYou shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
zWith mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
21 a“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and bMy hand which I have laid on them. 22 cSo the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 dThe Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore eI hid My face from them. I fgave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 gAccording to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: h‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the iwhole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name—26 jafter they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they kdwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 lWhen I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I mam hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 nthen they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them 2captive any longer. 29 oAnd I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have ppoured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”
