Ezekiel
Chapter Thirty-Nine
1 And thou, son of man,
prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against
thee, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
2 and I will turn thee about, and will lead thee on, and will cause thee to
come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring thee upon the
mountains of Israel;
3 and I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows
to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy hordes, and
the peoples that are with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of
every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord
Jehovah.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell securely in the isles;
and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
7 And my holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither
will I suffer my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know
that I am Jehovah, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord Jehovah; this is the
day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they 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, saith the Lord Jehovah.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place
for burial in Israel, the valley of them that pass through on the east of the
sea; and it shall stop them that pass through: and there shall they 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 Yea, 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, saith the Lord Jehovah.
14 And they shall set apart men of continual employment, that shall pass through
the land, and, with them that pass through, those that bury them that remain
upon the face of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall
they search.
15 And they that pass through the land shall pass through; and when any seeth
a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried
it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
16 And Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the
land.
17 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Speak unto 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 do sacrifice for you,
even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and
drink blood.
18 Ye 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 ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken,
of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty
men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah 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 did
I unto them; and I hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Now will I bring back the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon 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 Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to
go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them unto their own land;
and I will leave none of them any more there;
29 neither will I hide my face any more from them; for I have poured out my
Spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.
