Ezekiel 39

Ezekiel 39

1“You , son of man , prophesy against Gog , and say, ‘The Lord GOD says : “Behold , I am against you , Gog , prince of Rosh, Meshech , and Tubal .

2I will turn you around , will lead you on , and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north ; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel .

3I will strike your bow out of your left hand , and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand .

4You will fall on the mountains of Israel , you , and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you . I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

5You will fall on the open field , for I have spoken it ,” says the Lord GOD .

6“I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am the LORD .

7“‘“I will make my holy name known amongst my people Israel . I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more . Then the nations will know that I am the LORD , the Holy One in Israel .

8Behold , it comes , and it will be done ,” says the Lord GOD . “This is the day about which I have spoken .

9“‘“Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them , both the shields and the bucklers , the bows and the arrows , and the war clubs and the spears , and they will make fires with them for seven years ;

10so that they will take no wood out of the field , and not cut down any out of the forests ; for they will make fires with the weapons . They will plunder those who plundered them , and rob those who robbed them ,” says the Lord GOD .

11“‘“It will happen in that day , that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel , the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea ; and it will stop those who pass through . They will bury Gog and all his multitude there , and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog ’.

12“‘“The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months , that they may cleanse the land.

13Yes, all the people of the land will bury them ; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified ,” says the Lord GOD .

14“‘“They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land . Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land , to cleanse it . After the end of seven months they will search .

15Those who search through the land will pass through ; and when anyone sees a man ’s bone , then he will set up a sign by it , until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

16Hamonah will also be the name of a city . Thus they will cleanse the land.”’

17“You , son of man , the Lord GOD says : ‘Speak to the birds of every sort , and to every animal 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 meat 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 .

19You shall eat fat until you are full , and drink blood until you are drunk , of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you .

20You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers , with mighty men , and with all men of war ,” says the Lord GOD .’

21“I will set my glory amongst the nations . Then all the nations will see my judgement that I have executed , and my hand that I have laid on them .

22So the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God , from that day and forward .

23The nations will 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 all fell by the sword .

24I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions . I hid my face from them .

25“Therefore the Lord GOD says : ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel . I will be jealous for my holy name .

26They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me , when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid

27when I have brought them back from the peoples , gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy amongst them in the sight of many nations .

28They will know that I am the LORD their God , in that I caused them to go into captivity amongst the nations , and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more .

29I won’t hide my face from them any more , for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel ,’ says the Lord GOD .”
