Prophecy against Gog--Invaders Destroyed

1“And 1you, sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 againstH5921 GogH1463 and sayH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 2GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am againstH413 you, GogH1463, chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422; 2and I will turnH7725 you aroundH7725, leadH8338 you onH8338 aH8338 ropeH8338, takeH5927 you upH5927 from the remotestH3411 partsH3411 of the northH6828, and bringH935 you againstH5921 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478. 3Then I will 3strikeH5221 your bowH7198 from your leftH8040 handH3027 and makeH5307 your arrowsH2671 fallH5307 from your rightH3225 handH3027. 4You will 4fallH5307 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, you and allH3605 your troopsH102, and the peoplesH5971 whoH834 are with you; I will giveH5414 you as 5foodH402 to everyH3605 6kindH3671 of predatoryH5861 birdH6833 and animalH2421 of the fieldH7704. 5You will fallH5307 on the 7openH6440 fieldH7704; for it is I who have spokenH1696,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 6“And I will sendH7971 8fireH784 upon MagogH4031 and those who inhabitH3427 the 9coastlandsH339 in safetyH983; and they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068.

7“And I will makeH3045 My 10holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not allowH2490 My holyH6944 nameH8034 toH2490 beH2490 11profanedH2490 anymoreH5750. But the 12nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, the 13HolyH6918 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 14goH3318 outH3318 and makeH1197 15firesH1197 with the weaponsH5402 and burnH5400 them, both 16bucklersH4043 and shieldsH6793, bowsH7198 and arrowsH2671, warH3027 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, becauseH3588 they will makeH1197 firesH784 with the weaponsH5402; and they will takeH7997 the spoilsH7997 of those who plunderedH7997 them and seizeH962 the 17plunderH962 of those who plunderedH962 them,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

11“On that dayH3117 I will giveH5414 GogH1463 a burialH6913 placeH4725 thereH8033 in IsraelH3478, the valleyH1516 of those who passH5674 byH5674 eastH6926 of the seaH3220, and it will blockH2629 the wayH2629 of those who would passH5674 byH5674. So they will buryH6912 GogH1463 thereH8033 with allH3605 his hordeH1995, and they will callH7121 it the ValleyH1516 of 18Hamon-gogH1996. 12For sevenH7651 monthsH2320 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will be buryingH6912 them inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 19cleanseH2891 the landH776. 13And allH3605 the peopleH5971 of the landH776 will buryH6912 them; and it will be 20to their 21renownH8034 on the dayH3117 that I 22appearH3513 inH3513 My gloryH3513,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 14“They will also selectH914 menH376 who will constantlyH8548 passH5674 through the landH776, 23buryingH6912 those who were passingH5674 throughH5674, those leftH3498 on the surfaceH6440 of the groundH776, in order to cleanseH2891 it. At the endH7097 of sevenH7651 monthsH2320 they will conductH2713 aH2713 searchH2713. 15As those who passH5674 through the landH776 passH5674 throughH5674 and anyone seesH7200 a humanH120 boneH6106, then he will 24setH1129 upH1129 a markerH6725 by it untilH5704 the burialH6912 detailH6912 has buriedH6912 it in the ValleyH1516 of 25Hamon-gogH1996. 16And evenH1571 the nameH8034 of the cityH5892 will be HamonahH1997. So they will cleanseH2891 the landH776.”’

17“Now as for you, sonH1121 of manH120, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘SayH559 to everyH3605 26kindH3671 of 27birdH6833 and to everyH3605 28animalH2421 of the fieldH7704: “AssembleH6908 and comeH935, gatherH622 from everyH5439 directionH5439 to My sacrificeH2077, whichH834 I am going to 29sacrificeH2076 for you as a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and you will eatH398 fleshH1320 and drinkH8354 bloodH1818. 18You will 30eatH398 the fleshH1320 of warriorsH1368 and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the leadersH5387 of the earthH776, as though they were 31ramsH352, lambsH3733, goatsH6260, and 32bullsH6499, allH3605 of them fattenedH4806 livestockH4806 of 33BashanH1316. 19So you will eatH398 fatH2459 until you are fullH7654, and drinkH8354 bloodH1818 until you are drunkH7943, from My sacrificeH2077 whichH834 I have sacrificedH2076 for you. 20You will eatH7646 your fillH7646 at My tableH7979 with 34horsesH5483 and charioteersH7393, with warriorsH1368 and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

21“And I will placeH5414 My 35gloryH3519 among the nationsH1471; and allH3605 the nationsH1471 will seeH7200 My judgmentH4941 whichH834 I have executedH6213, and My handH3027 whichH834 I have laidH7760 on them. 22And the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 will 36knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 their GodH430, from that dayH3117 onwardH1973. 23The nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 wentH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 for their 37wrongdoingH5771, becauseH5921H834 they wereH4603 disloyalH4603 to Me, and I 38hidH5641 My faceH6440 from them; so I handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to their adversariesH6862, and allH3605 of them fellH5307 by the swordH2719. 2439In accordance with their uncleannessH2932 and their offensesH6588 I dealtH6213 with them, and I hidH5641 My faceH6440 from them.”’”

Israel Restored

25ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “NowH6258 I will 40restoreH7725 the fortunesH7622 of JacobH3290 and haveH7355 mercyH7355 onH7355 allH3605 the 41houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; and I will beH7065 42jealousH7065 for My holyH6944 nameH8034. 26They will 4344forgetH5375 their disgraceH3639 and allH3605 their 45treacheryH4604 whichH834 they perpetratedH4603 against Me, when they 46liveH3427 securelyH983 on their own landH127 with 47noH369 oneH369 to makeH2729 them afraidH2729. 27When I 48bringH7725 them backH7725 from the peoplesH5971 and gatherH6908 them from the landsH776 of their enemiesH340, then I shall 49showH6942 Myself holyH6942 50through them in the sightH5869 of the manyH7227 nationsH1471. 28Then they will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 their GodH430 because I made them goH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 amongH413 the nationsH1471, and then I gatheredH3664 them again to their own landH127; and I will leaveH3498 noneH3808 of them thereH8033 anyH5750 longerH5750. 29I will not hideH5641 My faceH6440 from them anyH5750 longerH5750, for I will have 51pouredH8210 outH8210 My SpiritH7307 on the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
