Prophecy Against Gog

1 "And a you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, 1 the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 "and I will b turn you around and lead you on, c bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 "Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 d "You shall 2 fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; e I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 "You shall 3 fall on 4 the open field; for I have spoken," says the Lord GOD. 6 f "And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live 5 in security in g the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.

7 h "So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them i profane My holy name anymore. j Then the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8 k "Surely it is coming, and it shall be done," says the Lord GOD. "This is the day l of which I have spoken.

9 "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the 6 javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 "They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; m and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them," says the Lord GOD.

11 "It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of 7 Hamon Gog. 8 12 "For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, n in order to cleanse the land. 13 "Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain o renown for it on the day that p I am glorified," says the Lord GOD. 14 "They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of 9 a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order q to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 "The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man's bone, he shall 10 set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 "The name of the city will also be 11 Hamonah. Thus they shall r cleanse the land." '

17 "And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, s 'Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:
t "Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My u sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal v on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 w You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them x fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 y You shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
z With mighty men
And with all the men of war," says the Lord GOD.

21 a "I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and b My hand which I have laid on them. 22 c "So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day forward. 23 d "The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore e I hid My face from them. I f gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 g "According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them." '

The Lord Will Restore Israel

25 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: h 'Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the i whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name - 26 j 'after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they k dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 l 'When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and I m am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 n 'then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them 12 captive any longer. 29 o 'And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have p poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,' says the Lord GOD."
