Ezekiel 39:1-16
1“And 1you, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 againstH5921 GogH1463 and sayH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 2GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am againstH413 you, O GogH1463, 3princeH5387 of RoshH7220, MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422; 2and I will turnH7725 you aroundH7725, driveH8338 you on, takeH5927 you up from the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the northH6828 and bringH935 you againstH5921 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 3I will 4strikeH5221 your bowH7198 from your leftH8040 handH3027 and dashH5307 downH5307 your arrowsH2671 from your rightH3225 handH3027. 4You will 5fallH5307 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, you and allH3605 your troopsH102 and the peoplesH5971 whoH834 are with you; I will giveH5414 you as 6foodH402 to everyH3605 7kindH3671 of predatoryH5861 birdH6833 and beastH2421 of the fieldH7704. 5You will fallH5307 on the 8openH6440 fieldH7704; for it is I who have spokenH1696,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 6“And I will sendH7971 9fireH784 upon MagogH4031 and those who inhabitH3427 the 10coastlandsH339 in safetyH983; and they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.
7“My 11holyH6944 nameH8034 I will makeH3045 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let My holyH6944 nameH8034 be 12profanedH2490 anymoreH5750. And the 13nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, the 14HolyH6918 OneH6918 in IsraelH3478. 8BeholdH2009, it is comingH935 and it shall be doneH1961,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. “That is the dayH3117 of whichH834 I have spokenH1696.
9“Then those who inhabitH3427 the citiesH5892 of IsraelH3478 will 15goH3318 out and makeH1197 16firesH1197 with the weaponsH5402 and burnH8026 them, both shieldsH4043 and bucklersH6793, bowsH7198 and arrowsH2671, warH4731 clubsH4731 and spearsH7420, and for sevenH7651 yearsH8141 they will makeH1197 firesH784 of them. 10They will not takeH5375 woodH6086 from the fieldH7704 or gatherH2404 firewoodH2404 from the forestsH3293, for they will makeH1197 firesH784 with the weaponsH5402; and they will takeH7997 the spoilH7997 of those who despoiledH7997 them and seizeH962 the 17plunderH962 of those who plunderedH962 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
11“On that dayH3117 I will giveH5414 GogH1463 a burialH6913 groundH4725 thereH8033 in IsraelH3478, the valleyH1516 of those who passH5674 by eastH6926 of the seaH3220, and it will blockH2629 offH2629 those who would passH5674 by. So they will buryH6912 GogH1463 thereH8033 with allH3605 his 18hordeH1995, and they will callH7121 it the valleyH1516 of 19Hamon-gogH1996. 12For sevenH7651 monthsH2320 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will be buryingH6912 them in orderH4616 to 20cleanseH2891 the landH776. 13Even allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 will buryH6912 them; and it will be 21to their 22renownH8034 on the dayH3117 that I 23glorifyH3513 Myself,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 14“They will setH914 apartH914 menH376 who will constantlyH8548 passH5674 through the landH776, 24buryingH6912 those who were passingH5674 throughH5674, evenH853 those leftH3498 on the surfaceH6440 of the groundH776, in order to cleanseH2891 it. At the endH7097 of sevenH7651 monthsH2320 they will makeH2713 a searchH2713. 15As those who passH5674 through the landH776 passH5674 throughH5674 and anyone seesH7200 a man’sH120 boneH6106, then he will 25setH1129 up a markerH6725 by it untilH5704 the buriersH6912 have buriedH6912 it in the valleyH1516 of 26Hamon-gogH1996. 16And evenH1571 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 will be HamonahH1997. So they will cleanseH2891 the landH776.”’
