Ezekiel 39

Revised Geneva Translation

39 “Therefore, you son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I come against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

² “And I will destroy you and leave but a sixth of you and will cause you to come up from the northern parts and will bring you upon the mountains of Israel.

³ “And I will strike your bow from out of your left hand; and I will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

⁴ “You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, and all your bands, and the people who are with you. I will give you to the birds, to every feathered fowl and beast of the field to be devoured.

⁵ “You shall fall upon the open field; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.

⁶ “And I will send a fire on Magog and among those who dwell safely in the isles. And they shall know that I am the LORD.

⁷ “So will I make My Holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not allow them to pollute My Holy Name anymore. And the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.

⁸ “Behold, it has come, and it is done,” says the Lord GOD, “and this is the day of which I have spoken.

⁹ “And those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth and shall burn and set fire to the weapons and on the shields and bucklers, upon the bows and upon the arrows and upon the rods in their hands and upon the spears. And they shall burn them with fire for seven years,

¹⁰ “so that they shall bring no wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests. For they shall burn the weapons with fire; and they shall rob those who robbed them and plunder those who plundered them,” says the Lord GOD.

¹¹ “And at the same time, I will give Gog a place there in Israel for burial: the valley by which men go toward the eastern part of the sea; and it shall cause those who pass by to hold their noses. And they shall bury Gog there with all his multitude. And they shall call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

¹² “And for seven months shall the House of Israel bury them, so that they may cleanse the land.

¹³ “Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them. And they shall have a name when I shall be glorified,” says the Lord GOD.

¹⁴ “And they shall choose men to go continually through the land with those who work to bury those who remain upon the ground, to cleanse it. They shall search until the end of seven months.

¹⁵ “And the travelers who pass through the land, if anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall then set up a sign by it until the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

¹⁶ “And, also, the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

¹⁷ “And you, son of man,” thus says the Lord GOD: “speak to every feathered fowl, and to all the beasts of the field. Assemble yourselves and come. Gather yourselves on every side to My sacrifice. For I do sacrifice a great sacrifice for you upon the mountains of Israel, so that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

¹⁸ “You shall eat the flesh of the valiant and drink the blood of the princes of the Earth, of the weathers, of the lambs, of the goats, of bullocks, and of all fat beasts of Bashan.

¹⁹ “And you shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk at My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

²⁰ “Thus you shall be filled with horses and chariots at My table, with valiant men and with all men of war,” says the Lord GOD.

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 which I have laid upon them.

²² “So the House of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day forward.

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.

²⁴ “According to their uncleanness, and according to their transgressions, I have done to them, and hidden My Face from them.”’

²⁵ “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Now will I bring back the captives of Jacob, and have compassion upon the whole House of Israel, and will be jealous for My Holy Name,

²⁶ ‘after they have borne their shame and all their transgression by which they have transgressed against Me, when they dwelt safely in their land and without fear of anyone.

²⁷ ‘When I have brought them back from the people and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands and am sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations,

²⁸ ‘then they shall 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 anymore.

²⁹ ‘Nor will I hide My Face from them anymore. For I have poured out My Spirit upon the House of Israel,’ says the Lord GOD.”
