Chapter 39

Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy¹⁰ against Gog, and say,¹ Thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief ⁷²²⁰ prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn thee back,³¹ and leave but the sixth part¹⁴ of thee, and will cause thee to come up⁵² from the north parts, and will bring⁵² thee upon the mountains of Israel:

And I will smite⁵² thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall⁵⁵ out of thy right hand.

Thou shalt fall⁴ upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give¹ thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Thou shalt fall⁴ upon the open field: for I have spoken¹⁴ [it], saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

And I will send¹⁴ a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell⁶ carelessly in the isles: and they shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD.

So will I make my holy name known⁵⁵ in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute⁵⁵ my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

Behold, it is come,¹ and it is done,⁸ saith⁷ the Lord GOD; this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.¹⁴

And they that dwell⁶ in the cities of Israel shall go forth,¹ and shall set on fire¹⁴ and burn⁵² the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, ⁴⁷³¹ and the spears, and they shall burn¹⁴ them with fire seven years:

So that they shall take⁴ no wood out of the field, neither cut down⁴ [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn¹⁷ the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil¹ those that spoiled⁶ them, and rob¹ those that robbed⁶ them, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give⁴ unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers⁶ on the east of the sea: and it shall stop⁶ the [noses] of the passengers:⁶ and there shall they bury¹ Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call¹ [it] The valley of Hamongog. ^{1463 1996}

And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying¹ of them, that they may cleanse¹⁵ the land.

Yea, all the people of the land shall bury¹ [them]; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified,⁹ saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

And they shall sever out⁵⁵ men of continual employment, passing⁶ through the land to bury¹⁸ with the passengers⁶ those that remain¹² upon the face of the earth, to cleanse¹⁵ it: after the end of seven months shall they search.⁴

And the passengers⁶ [that] pass¹ through the land, when [any] seeth¹ a man's bone, then shall he set up¹ a sign by it, till the buriers¹⁸ have buried¹ it in the valley of Hamongog. ^{1463 1996}

And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse¹⁴ the land.

And, thou son of man, thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Speak³ unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble¹⁰ yourselves, and come;³ gather¹⁰ yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice⁶ for you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat¹ flesh, and drink¹ blood.

Ye shall eat⁴ the flesh of the mighty, and drink⁴ the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

And ye shall eat¹ fat till ye be full, and drink¹ blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed¹ for you.

Thus ye shall be filled¹ at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.

And I will set¹ my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see¹ my judgment that I have executed,¹ and my hand that I have laid¹ upon them.

So the house of Israel shall know¹ that I [am] the LORD their God from that day and forward.

And the heathen shall know¹ that the house of Israel went into captivity¹ for their iniquity: because they trespassed¹ against me, therefore hid⁵⁵ I my face from them, and gave⁴ them into the hand of their enemies: so fell⁴ they all by the sword.

According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done¹ unto them, and hid⁵⁵ my face from them.

Therefore thus saith¹ the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again⁵⁵ the captivity ⁷⁶²² of Jacob, and have mercy¹⁴ upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous¹⁴ for my holy name;

After that they have borne¹ their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed¹ against me, when they dwelt² safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid.⁵⁶

When I have brought them again³² from the people, and gathered¹⁴ them out of their enemies'⁶ lands, and am sanctified⁸ in them in the sight of many nations;

Then shall they know¹ that I [am] the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity⁵³ among the heathen: but I have gathered¹⁴ them unto their own land, and have left⁵⁵ none of them any more there.

Neither will I hide⁵⁵ my face any more from them: for I have poured out¹ my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith⁷ the Lord GOD.
