Ezekiel 39
1 And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Look, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:2 and I will turn you about, and will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you on the mountains of Israel;3 and I will smite your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.4 You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples that are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.5 You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on those that dwell securely in the isles; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.7 And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I allow my holy name to be profaned anymore: and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Look, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh; this is the day whereof I have spoken.9 And those that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years;10 so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and rob those that robbed them, says the Lord Yahweh.11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give to Gog a place of renown for burial in Israel, the valley of those that pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those that pass through: and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog.12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.13 Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord Yahweh.14 And they shall set apart men of continual employment, that shall pass through the land, and, with those that pass through, those that bury those that remain on the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months they shall search.15 And those that pass through the land shall pass through; and when any sees man's bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.16 And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse the land.17 And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.18 You 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 bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.19 And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.20 And you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the Lord Yahweh.21 And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am Yahweh their God, from that day and forward.
23 And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword.24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I did to them; and I hid my face from them.25 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Now I will bring back the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for my holy name.26 And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid;27 when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.28 And they shall know that I am Yahweh their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land; and I will leave none of them anymore there;29 neither will I hide my face anymore from them; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord Yahweh.
