Context of Ezekiel 39:5

3Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand. 4You will fall on the mountains of Israel—you, all your troops and the people that are with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and to the beasts of the field. You will fall on an open field, for I have spoken.’” It is a declaration of Adonai. 6“I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Adonai. 7So I will make My holy Name known among My people Israel. I will not let My holy Name be profaned anymore. The nations will know that I am Adonai, the Holy One in Israel.
