Ezekiel 39:1-7

1Therefore, thou sonH1121 of manH120, prophesyH5012 against GogH1463, and sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O GogH1463, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422:

2And I will turn thee backH7725, and leave but the sixth partH8338 of thee, and will cause thee to come upH5927 from the northH6828 partsH3411, and will bringH935 thee upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478:1 2

3And I will smiteH5221 thy bowH7198 out of thy leftH8040 handH3027, and will cause thine arrowsH2671 to fallH5307 out of thy rightH3225 handH3027.

4Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, thou, and all thy bandsH102, and the peopleH5971 that is with thee: I will giveH5414 thee unto the ravenousH5861 birdsH6833 of every sortH3671, and to the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 to be devouredH402.3 4

5Thou shalt fallH5307 upon the openH6440 fieldH7704: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069.5

6And I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on MagogH4031, and among them that dwellH3427 carelesslyH983 in the islesH339: and they shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068.6

7So will I make my holyH6944 nameH8034 knownH3045 in the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and I will not let them polluteH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034 any more: and the heathenH1471 shall knowH3045 that I am YhwhH3068, the Holy OneH6918 in IsraelH3478.
