[1] "And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord
GOD: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal;
[2] and I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up from
the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the mountains of
Israel; [3] then I will strike your bow from your left hand, and will make
your arrows drop out of your right hand. [4] You shall fall upon the
mountains of Israel, you and all your hordes and the peoples that are with
you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the wild beasts
to be devoured. [5] You shall fall in the open field; for I have spoken,
says the Lord GOD. [6] I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell
securely in the coastlands; and they shall know that I am the LORD. [7]
"And my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel; and I
will not let my holy name be profaned any more; and the nations shall know
that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. [8] Behold, it is coming and it
will be brought about, says the Lord GOD. That is the day of which I have
spoken. [9] "Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go forth and
make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bows and
arrows, handpikes and spears, and they will make fires of them for seven
years; [10] so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut
down any out of the forests, for they will make their fires of the weapons;
they will despoil those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered
them, says the Lord GOD. [11] "On that day I will give to Gog a place for
burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers east of the sea; it will
block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried; it
will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog. [12] For seven months the house of
Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. [13] All the
people of the land will bury them; and it will redound to their honor on
the day that I show my glory, says the Lord GOD. [14] They will set apart
men to pass through the land continually and bury those remaining upon the
face of the land, so as to cleanse it; at the end of seven months they will
make their search. [15] And when these pass through the land and any one
sees a man's bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have
buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. [16] (A city Hamo'nah is there also.)
Thus shall they cleanse the land. [17] "As for you, son of man, thus says
the Lord GOD: Speak to the birds of every sort and to all beasts of the
field, `Assemble and come, gather from all sides to the sacrificial feast
which I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast upon the mountains
of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. [18] You 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.
[19] And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you
are drunk, at the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you. [20] And
you shall be filled at my table with horses and riders, with mighty men and
all kinds of warriors,' says the Lord GOD. [21] "And I will set my glory
among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have
executed, and my hand which I have laid on them. [22] The house of Israel
shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day forward. [23] And
the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for
their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that I hid my
face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they
all fell by the sword. [24] I dealt with them according to their
uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them. [25]
"Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Now I will restore the fortunes of
Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous
for my holy name. [26] They shall forget their shame, and all the treachery
they have practiced against me, when they dwell securely in their land with
none to make them afraid, [27] when I have brought them back from the
peoples and gathered them from their enemies' lands, and through them have
vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. [28] Then they shall
know that I am the LORD their God because I sent them into exile among the
nations, and then gathered them into their own land. I will leave none of
them remaining among the nations any more; [29] and I will not hide my face
any more from them, when I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel,
says the Lord GOD."
