39:1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
39:2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of
thee, and will cause thee to come from the north parts, and
will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
39:3 And I will strike thy bow out of thy left hand, and I will
cause thy arrows to fall from thy right hand.
39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all
thy bands, and the people that [are] with thee: I will give
thee to the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts
of the field to be devoured.
39:5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken
[it], saith the Lord GOD.
39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell
carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the
LORD.
39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people
Israel; and I will not [let them] profane my holy name any
more: and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy
One in Israel.
39:8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD;
this [is] the day of which I have spoken.
39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth,
and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields
and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaffs,
and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither
cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the
weapons with fire: and they shall lay waste those that wasted
them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give
to Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the
passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the
[noses] of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and
all his multitude: and they shall call [it] The valley of
Hamon-gog.
39:12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be in burying
them, that they may cleanse the land.
39:13 Yes, all the people of the land shall bury [them]: and it
shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified,
saith the Lord GOD.
39:14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that
remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end
of seven months shall they search.
39:15 And [as] passengers pass through the land, when [any]
seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the
buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
39:16 And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus
shall they cleanse the land.
39:17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak to
every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble
yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my
sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, [even] a great sacrifice
upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink
blood.
39:18 Ye 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 bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
39:19 And ye shall eat fat till ye are full, and drink blood
till ye are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed
for you.
39:20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the
Lord GOD.
39:21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand
that I have laid upon them.
39:22 So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD
their God from that day and forward.
39:23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went
into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed
against me, therefore I hid my face from them, and gave them
into the hand of their enemies: so they all fell by the sword.
39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their
transgressions have I done to them, and hid my face from them.
39:25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again
the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of
Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
39:26 After they have borne their shame, and all their
trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they
dwelt safely in their land, and none made [them] afraid.
39:27 When I have brought them again from the people, and
gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, and am
sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
39:28 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, who
caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I
have gathered them to their own land, and have left none of
them there any more.
39:29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have
poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord
GOD.
