"And ayou, son of man
, prophesy
against
Gog
and say
, `Thus
says
the Lord
1GOD
, "Behold
, I am against
you, O Gog
, 2prince
of Rosh
, Meshech
and Tubal
;
and I will turn you around
, drive
you on, take
you up from the remotest
parts
of the north
and bring
you against
the mountains
of Israel
.
"I will astrike your bow
from your left
hand
and dash
down
your arrows
from your right
hand
.
"You will afall on the mountains
of Israel
, you and all
your troops
and the peoples
who
are with you; I will give
you as bfood
to every
1kind
of predatory
bird
and beast
of the field
.
"You will fall on the 1open
field
; for it is I who have spoken
," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
"And I will send afire
upon Magog
and those who inhabit
the bcoastlands
in safety
; and they will know
that I am the LORD
.
"My aholy name
I will make
known
in the midst
of My people
Israel
; and I will not let My holy
name
be bprofaned
anymore
. And the cnations
will know
that I am the LORD
, the dHoly
One
in Israel
.
"Behold, it is coming
and it shall be done
," declares
the Lord
GOD
. "That is the day
of which
I have spoken
.
"Then those who inhabit the cities
of Israel
will ago
out and make
bfires
with the weapons
and burn
them, both shields
and bucklers
, bows
and arrows
, war
clubs
and spears
, and for seven
years
they will make
fires
of them.
"They will not take wood
from the field
or gather
firewood
from the forests
, for they will make
fires
with the weapons
; and they will take
the spoil
of those who despoiled
them and seize
the aplunder
of those who plundered
them," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
"On that day I will give
Gog
a burial
ground
there
in Israel
, the valley
of those who pass
by east
of the sea
, and it will block
off
those who would pass
by. So they will bury
Gog
there
with all
his 1horde
, and they will call
it the valley
of 2Hamon-gog
.
"For seven months
the house
of Israel
will be burying
them in order
to acleanse
the land
.
"Even all the people
of the land
will bury
them; and it will be 1to their arenown
on the day
that I bglorify
Myself," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
"They will set apart
men
who will constantly
pass
through the land
, aburying
those who were passing
through
, even
those left
on the surface
of the ground
, in order to cleanse
it. At the end
of seven
months
they will make
a search
.
"As those who pass through the land
pass
through
and anyone sees
a man's
bone
, then he will 1set
up a marker
by it until
the buriers
have buried
it in the valley
of 2Hamon-gog
.
"And even the name
of the city
will be Hamonah
. So they will cleanse
the land
."'
"As for you, son of man
, thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, `Speak
to every
1kind
of abird
and to every
abeast
of the field
, "Assemble
and come
, gather
from every
side
to My sacrifice
which
I am going to bsacrifice
for you, as a great
sacrifice
on the mountains
of Israel
, that you may eat
flesh
and drink
blood
.
"You will aeat the flesh
of mighty
men
and drink
the blood
of the princes
of the earth
, as though they were brams
, lambs
, goats
and cbulls
, all
of them fatlings
of dBashan
.
"So you will eat fat
until you are glutted
, and drink
blood
until you are drunk
, from My sacrifice
which
I have sacrificed
for you.
"You will be glutted at My table
with ahorses
and charioteers
, with mighty
men
and all
the men
of war
," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
"And I will set My aglory
among the nations
; and all
the nations
will see
My judgment
which
I have executed
and My hand
which
I have laid
on them.
"And the house of Israel
will aknow
that I am the LORD
their God
from that day
onward
.
"The nations will know
that the house
of Israel
went
into exile
for their ainiquity
because
they acted
treacherously
against Me, and I bhid
My face
from them; so I gave
them into the hand
of their adversaries
, and all
of them fell
by the sword
.
" aAccording to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions
I dealt
with them, and I hid
My face
from them.""'
Therefore thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, "Now
I will 1 arestore
the fortunes
of Jacob
and have
mercy
on the whole
bhouse
of Israel
; and I will be cjealous
for My holy
name
.
"They will 1 aforget their disgrace
and all
their treachery
which
they 2perpetrated
against Me, when they blive
securely
on their own land
with cno
one
to make
them afraid
.
"When I abring them back
from the peoples
and gather
them from the lands
of their enemies
, then I shall be bsanctified
1through them in the sight
of the many
nations
.
"Then they will know that I am the LORD
their God
because I made them go
into exile
among
the nations
, and then gathered
them again to their own land
; and I will leave
none
of them there
any
longer
.
"I will not hide My face
from them any
longer
, for I will have apoured
out My Spirit
on the house
of Israel
," declares
the Lord
GOD
.
