“1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince
of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the
sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts,
and 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 bands, and the people that [is] 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 GOD. 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them
that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the
LORD. 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people
Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the
heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.”
“8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this [is]
the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of
Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both
the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the
handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire 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 burn the weapons with
fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that
robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. 11 And it shall come to pass in that
day, [that] I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the
valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the
[noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his
multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of Hamongog. 12 And seven
months shall the house of Israel be burying of 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 the day that I shall be glorified,
saith the Lord GOD. 14 And they shall sever out men of continual
employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those
that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of
seven months shall they search. 15 And the passengers [that] pass
through the land, 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 Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they
cleanse the land. 17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD;
Speak unto every feathered fowl, 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 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots,
with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I
will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen 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] the LORD their God from
that day and forward.”
“23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into
captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their
uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them,
and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now
will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole
house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that
they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have
trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none
made [them] afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the people,
and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them
in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I [am] the
LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the
heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left
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 GOD.” (Ezekiel 39:1-29 AV)
