‏ Ezekiel 39

CHAPTER 39 The Prophecy against Gog

1 And you, O son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord the lord; Behold, I am against you Gog ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal! 2 And I will gather you, and I will lead you down, and I will haul you from the extreme north, and I will lead you upon the mountains of Israel. 3 And I will destroy your bow from [³hand ¹your ²left], and your arrows from [³hand ¹your ²right]. 4 And I will throw you down upon the mountains of Israel; and you shall fall, you and all the ones around you. And the nations, the ones with you shall be given to a multitude of birds, to every winged creature; and [³to all ⁴the ⁵wild beasts ⁶of the ⁷plain ¹I have given ²you] to be devoured. 5 Upon the face of the plain you shall fall, for I spoke, says the Lord the lord.

The LORD Sends Fire on Gog

6 And I will send fire upon Magog, and [³shall be inhabited ¹the ²islands] in peace. And they shall know that I am the lord. 7 And [³name ¹my ²holy] will be known in the midst of my people Israel; and [⁴shall not ⁵be profaned ³name ¹my ²holy] any longer. And [³shall know ¹the ²nations] that I am the lord, the holy one in Israel. 8 Behold, it is come, and you shall know that it will be, says the Lord the lord; this is the day in which I spoke. 9 And [⁶shall come forth ¹the ones ²dwelling ³the ⁴cities ⁵of Israel], and they shall kindle a fire with the weapons -- small shields, and shafts, and bows, and arrows, and rods of the hands, and lances; and they shall kindle with them a fire for seven years. 10 And no way shall they take trees from out of the plain, nor shall they fell trees from out of the groves; but only the weapons shall they incinerate with fire. And they shall plunder the ones plundering them, and shall despoil the ones despoiling them, says the lord. 11 And it will be in that day I will appoint Gog a place of renown -- a memorial in Israel, a cemetery of the ones coming by the sea. And they shall enclose the cleft of the ravine, and they shall bury Gog there, and all his multitude. And it shall be called then, The Cemetery of Gog. 12 And [³shall bury ⁴them ¹the house ²of Israel], that [³should be cleansed ¹the ²land] in seven months. 13 And [⁶shall bury ⁷them ¹all ²the ³people ⁴of the ⁵land]; and it will be to them for a famous place in which day I was glorified, says the Lord the lord. 14 And [²for men ³continually ¹they shall give orders] for coming over the land to bury the ones being left upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it. After the seven months, and they shall seek. 15 And every one traveling over the land, and seeing the bone of a man, shall build [²by ³it ¹a sign], until whenever [³shall bury ⁴it ¹the ones ²burying] in the cemetery of Gog. 16 For even the name of the city is Cemetery; and [³shall be cleansed ¹the ²land]. 17 And you son of man, thus says the Lord the lord; Speak to every [²bird ¹winged], and to all the wild beasts of the plain! saying, Gather together and come! Be gathered together from all the surrounding places unto my sacrifice! which I sacrificed to you, [²sacrifice ¹a great] upon the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat meats, and drink blood. 18 [²meats ³of giants ¹You shall eat], and [²blood ³of rulers ⁴of the ⁵earth ¹you shall drink], rams, and calves, and he-goats, and the calves all growing fat. 19 And you shall eat fat unto fullness, and you shall drink blood unto intoxication from my sacrifice in which I sacrificed to you. 20 And you shall be filled from my table -- horse, and rider, and giant, and every male warrior, says the Lord the lord.

Israel is Restored to the Land

21 And I will put my glory among you, and [⁴shall see ¹all ²the ³nations] my judgment which I did, and my hand which I brought upon them. 22 And [³shall know ¹the house ²of Israel] that I am the lord their God, from this day and beyond. 23 And [⁴shall know ¹all ²the ³nations] that [⁴on account of ⁵their sin ³was captured ¹the house ²of Israel], because they annulled covenant against me, and I turned my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 Because of their uncleannesses, and because of their violations of the law I did it to them, and I turned my face from them. 25 On account of this, thus says the Lord the lord; Now I will return the captivity in Jacob, and I will show mercy on the house of Israel, and I will be jealous on account of [²name ¹my holy]. 26 And they shall take their own dishonor, and the iniquity which they transgressed in their settling upon their land in peace, and there will not be one frightening, 27 in my returning them from out of the nations, and my gathering them from out of the places of the nations; and I shall be sanctified among them before the nations. 28 And they shall know that I am the lord their God in my appearing to them among the nations, in my gathering them upon their land. And I shall not abandon them any more -- not one there. 29 And I shall not turn [²any longer ¹my face] from them, because I poured out my rage upon the house of Israel, says the Lord the lord.
