Ezekiel 39

1 “And you, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, Chief prince of [[or prince of Rosh, ]] Meshech and Tubal,

And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, Rhos prince of Mesoch and Thobel:

2 And have turned you back, and enticed you, And caused you to come up from the sides of the north, And brought you in against mountains of Israel,

and I will assemble you, and guide you, and raise you up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring you up upon the mountains of Israel.

3 And have struck your bow out of your left hand, Indeed, I cause your arrows to fall out of your right.

And I will destroy the bow out of your left hand, and your arrows out of your right hand, and I will cast you down on the mountains of Israel;

4 You fall on mountains of Israel, You, and all your bands, and the peoples who [are] with you, To ravenous bird—a bird of every wing, And [to] a beast of the field, I have given you for food.

and you and all that belong to you shall fall, and the nations that are with you shall be given to multitudes of birds, [even] to every fowl, and I have given you to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 You fall on the face of the field, for I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

You shall fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.

6 And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the islands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.

And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 And I make My holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel, And I do not defile My holy Name anymore, And the nations have known that I, YHWH, the Holy One, [am] in Israel.

And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy [One] in Israel.

8 Behold, it has come, and it has been done, A declaration of Lord YHWH, It [is] the day of which I spoke.

Behold it is come, and you shall know that it shall be, says the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken.

9 And those dwelling [in the] cities of Israel have gone out, And they have burned and kindled [a fire], With armor, and shield, and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand weapon, and with javelin, And they have caused a fire to burn seven years with them,

And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and the spears, and bows and arrows, and hand-staves, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years:

10 And they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they hew out of the forests, For they cause the fire to burn with armor, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have plundered their plunderers, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, says the Lord.

11 And it has come to pass in that day, I give a place to Gog there—a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!

And it shall come to pass [that] in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial-place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and [the place] shall then be called the burial-place of Gog.

12 And the house of Israel has buried them—in order to cleanse the land—seven months.

And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months.

13 Indeed, all the people of the land have buried them, and it has been to them for a name—the day of My being honored—a declaration of Lord YHWH.

Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a [place] of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, says the Lord.

14 And they separate men for continual employment, with those passing through, passing on through the land, burying those who are left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they search.

And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek [them] out.

15 And those passing by have passed through the land, and seen a bone of man, and one has constructed a sign near it until those burying have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.

And every one that goes through the land, and sees a man's bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog.

16 And also the name of the city [is] The Multitude; and they have cleansed the land.

For the name of the city [shall be] Burial-place: so shall the land be cleansed.

17 And you, son of man, thus said Lord YHWH: Say to the bird—every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from all around, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And you have eaten flesh, and drunk blood.

And you, son of man, say, Thus says the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, Gather yourselves, and come; gather yourselves from all [places] round about to my sacrifice, which I have made for you, [even] a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 You eat [the] flesh of [the] mighty, And you drink [the] blood of [the] princes of the earth, Of rams, of lambs, and of male goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan—all of them.

You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and you shall drink the blood of princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves.

19 And you have eaten fat to satiety, And you have drunk blood—to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you.

And you shall eat fat till you are full, and shall drink wine till you are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you.

20 And you have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, A declaration of Lord YHWH.

And you shall be filled at my table, [eating] horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, says the Lord.

21 And I have given My glory among nations, And all the nations have seen My judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.

And I will set my glory amongst you, and all the nations shall see my judgement which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them.

22 And the house of Israel has known that I [am] their God YHWH, From that day and from now on.

And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onwards.

23 And the nations have known That the house of Israel was removed for their iniquity, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword—all of them.

And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I hide My face from them.

According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them.

25 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Now I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy Name.

Therefore thus says the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name.

26 And they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.

And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they lived upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify [them]

27 In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,

when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified amongst them in the presence of the nations.

28 And they have known that I [am] their God YHWH, In My removing them to the nations, And I have gathered them to their land, And I leave none of them there anymore.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them amongst the nations.

29 And I do not hide My face from them anymore, In that I have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”

And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
