Ezekiel 39

1 "You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, 'Thus says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And thou, son of man, prophesy against Cog, and say: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Cog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.

2 and I will turn you around, drag you along, and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel.

3 Then I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will make your arrows fall from your right hand.

And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the people who are with you. I will give you to birds of prey of every king and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the earth to be devoured.

5 You will fall in the open field; for I have spoken," says YHWH.

Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands; then they will know that I am YHWH.

And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 "'And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will not allow my holy name to be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am YHWH, the Holy One in Israel.

And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

8 Look, it is coming and it will happen, says YHWH. This is the day I have spoken about.

Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the day whereof I have spoken.

9 "'Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go out and make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and bucklers, bows and the arrows, war clubs and spears, and they shall make fires of them for seven years,

And the inhabitants shall go forth of the cities of Israel, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields, and the spears, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the pikes: and they shall burn them with fire seven years.

10 so that they shall no need to take wood out of the field or gather firewood from the forests, because they shall make fires of the weapons; and they will take the spoil from those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, says YHWH.

And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.

11 "'And it shall happen on that day that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers east of the sea; and it shall block the way of the travelers. So they shall bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The Valley of Hamon Gog.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Cog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Cog.

12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land.

13 Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them, and it shall be a memorial for them on the day that I show my glory, says YHWH.

And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God.

14 And they shall designate men to travel through the land regularly, burying those who remain on the face of the land, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they shall make a search.

And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall begin to seek.

15 As they go through the land and anyone sees a human bone, he will put a marker next to it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers bury it in the valley of the multitude of Cog.

16 Moreover, Hamonah will be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse the land.'

And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse the land.

17 "And as for you, son of man, thus says YHWH: Speak to every kind of bird and to all the wild animals, 'Assemble and come, gather from all around to my sacrifice which I am going to sacrifice for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to 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 fattened animals of Bashan.

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat.

19 And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, at my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you.

20 And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with warriors and with all the soldiers,' says YHWH.

And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God.

21 "'And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment when I have executed it and my hand when I lay it on them.

And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am YHWH their God, from that day on.

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

23 And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to me, so I hid my face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword.

And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.

24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions, and I hid my face from them.'

I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.

25 "Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Now will I restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.

Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel: and I will be jealous for my holy name.

26 And they shall feel remorse for their disgrace and all the unfaithfulness they committed against me, when they dwell securely in their land with none to make them afraid.

And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man:

27 When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, then I will be sanctified through them in the sight of the many nations.

And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations.

28 Then they will know that I am YHWH their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations, and then gathered them into their own land; and I will leave none of them there any more.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there.

29 And I will no longer hide my face from them, when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel,' says YHWH."

And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
