9“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go forth and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, handpikes and spears, and they will make fires of them for seven years; 10so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of 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.

11“On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelersl east of the sea; it will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried; it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.m 12For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13All the people of the land will bury them; and it will redound to their honor on the day that I show my glory, says the Lord GOD. 14They will set apart men to pass through the land continually and buryn those remaining upon the face of the land, so as to cleanse it; at the end of seven months they will make their search. 15And when these pass through the land and any one sees a man’s bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. 16(A city Hamonah is there also.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the field, ‘Assemble and come, gather from all sides to the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast upon the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. 18You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth—of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you. 20And you shall be filled at my table with horses and riders, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,’ says the Lord GOD.

21“And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have executed, and my hand which I have laid on them. 22The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward.
