1 “You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and
say, ‘Thus says the Lord Jehovah: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of
Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal: 2 and I will turn you around, and will lead you
on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I
will bring you on the mountains of Israel; 3 and I will strike your bow
out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right
hand. 4 You shall 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 shall
fall on the open field; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Jehovah.
6 “‘“I will send a fire on Magog, and on those
who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. 7 My
holy name I will make known among my people Israel; neither will I allow my
holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah,
the Holy One in Israel. 8 Behold, it comes, and it shall be done,” says
the Lord Jehovah; “this is the day about which I have spoken. 9 Those who
dwell in the cities of Israel shall go out, and shall 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 shall make fires of them seven years; 10 so
that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the
forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those
who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them,” says the Lord Jehovah.
11 “‘“It shall 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 shall stop those who pass through: and there
shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it ‘The valley
of Hamon Gog.’ 12 Seven months the house of Israel shall be burying them,
that they may cleanse the land. 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,” says the Lord Jehovah.
14 “‘“They shall set apart men of continual
employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through,
those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it:
after the end of seven months they shall search. 15 Those who pass through
the land shall pass through; and when any sees a man’s bone, then he shall set
up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon
Gog. 16 Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus they shall cleanse
the land.”’”
17 “‘You, son of man,’ thus says the Lord Jehovah:
‘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 do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you
may eat flesh 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 be 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 chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war,” says the Lord Jehovah.
21 “‘“I will set my glory among the nations; and
all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I
have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah
their God, from that day and forward. 23 The nations shall 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 fell all of them by the sword. 24 According to their
uncleanness and according to their transgressions I did to them; and I hid my
face from them.”
25 “‘Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: “Now I
will restore Jacob from captivity, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel;
and I will be jealous for my holy name. 26 They shall bear their shame,
and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they
shall dwell securely in their land, and no one shall make them afraid; 27 when
I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their
enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations. 28 They
shall know that I am Jehovah their God, in that I caused them to go into
captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land; and I
will leave none of them any more there; 29 neither will I hide my face any
more from them; for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,” says
the Lord Jehovah.’”
