Ezekiel 39:1–10

Gog’s Armies Destroyed

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; ²and I will ^bturn you around and lead you on, ^cbringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. ³Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. ^4dYou 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. ⁵You shall ³fall on ⁴the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. ^6f“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. ^7hSo 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. ^8kSurely 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. ¹⁰They 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.
