Chapter 39
1 " You , son of man , prophesy against Gog , and say, ‘ The Lord Yahweh says : " Behold , I am against you , Gog , prince of Rosh, Meshech , and Tubal .
2 I will turn you around , will lead you on , and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north ; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel .
3 I will strike your bow out of your left hand , and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand .
4 You will fall on the mountains of Israel , you , and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you . I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.
5 You will fall on the open field , for I have spoken it ," says the Lord Yahweh .
6 " I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh .
7 "‘" I will make my holy name known among my people Israel . I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more . Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh , the Holy One in Israel .
8 Behold , it comes , and it will be done ," says the Lord Yahweh . " This is the day about which I have spoken .
9 "‘" Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them , both the shields and the bucklers , the bows and the arrows , and the war clubs and the spears , and they will make fires with them for seven years ;
10 so that they will take no wood out of the field , and not cut down any out of the forests ; for they will make fires with the weapons . They will plunder those who plundered them , and rob those who robbed them ," says the Lord Yahweh .
11 "‘" It will happen in that day , that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel , the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea ; and it will stop those who pass through . They will bury Gog and all his multitude there , and they will call it ‘ The valley of Hamon Gog ’.
12 "‘" The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months , that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yes, all the people of the land will bury them ; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified ," says the Lord Yahweh .
14 "‘" They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land . Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land , to cleanse it . After the end of seven months they will search .
15 Those who search through the land will pass through ; and when anyone sees a man ’s bone , then he will set up a sign by it , until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.
16 Hamonah will also be the name of a city . Thus they will cleanse the land."’
17 " You , son of man , the Lord Yahweh says : ‘Speak to the birds of every sort , and to every animal of the field , " Assemble yourselves , and come ; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you , even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel , that you may eat meat and drink blood .
18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty , and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams , of lambs , and of goats , of bulls , all of them fatlings of Bashan .
19 You shall eat fat until you are full , and drink blood until you are drunk , of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you .
20 You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers , with mighty men , and with all men of war ," says the Lord Yahweh .’
21 " I will set my glory among the nations . Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed , and my hand that I have laid on them .
22 So the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God , from that day and forward .
23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity , because they trespassed against me , and I hid my face from them ; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries , and they all fell by the sword .
24 I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions . I hid my face from them .
25 " Therefore the Lord Yahweh says : ‘ Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel . I will be jealous for my holy name .
26 They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me , when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid
27 when I have brought them back from the peoples , gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy among them in the sight of many nations .
28 They will know that I am Yahweh their God , in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations , and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more .
29 I won’t hide my face from them any more , for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel ,’ says the Lord Yahweh ."
