³⁹And you, mortal, prophesy against Gog and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!^* ²I will turn you around and drive you forward and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north and lead you against the mountains of Israel. ³I will strike your bow from your left hand and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand.^* ⁴You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every kind and to the wild animals to be devoured.^* ⁵You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, says the Lord God. ⁶I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord.^*

⁷My holy name I will make known among my people Israel, and I will not let my holy name be profaned any more, and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.^* ⁸It has come! It has happened, says the Lord God. This is the day of which I have spoken.

⁹Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them—bucklers and shields, bows and arrows, clubs and spears—and they will make fires of them for seven years.^* ¹⁰They will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any trees in the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons; they will despoil those who despoiled them and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord God.^*
