39 : 1 And you,son of man,prophesy againstGog and say, Thus says the LordGod: Behold,I am against you, O Gog,chief prince ofMeshechandTubal.
39 : 2 And I will turn you about and drive you forward, and bring you up fromthe uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against themountains of Israel.
39 : 3 ThenI will strike your bow from your left hand, andwill make your arrows drop out of your right hand.
39 : 4 You shall fall onthe mountains of Israel, you and all yourhordes and the peoples who are with you.I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
39 : 5 You shall fall in the open field, forI have spoken, declares the LordGod.
39 : 6 I will send fire onMagog and on thosewho dwell securely inthe coastlands, andthey shall know that I am theLord.
39 : 7 Andmy holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, andI will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. Andthe nations shall know that I amtheLord, the Holy One in Israel.
39 : 8 Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the LordGod. That is the dayof which I have spoken.
39 : 9 Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out andmake fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows,clubsand spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years,
39 : 10 so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, forthey will make their fires of the weapons.They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the LordGod.
39 : 11 On that day I will give toGog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea. It will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried. It will be called the Valley ofHamon-gog.
39 : 12 Forseven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in orderto cleanse the land.
39 : 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day thatI show my glory, declares the LordGod.
39 : 14 They will set apart men to travel through the land regularly and bury those travelers remaining on the face of the land, so asto cleanse it. Atthe end ofseven months they will make their search.
39 : 15 And when these travel through the land and anyone sees a human bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley ofHamon-gog.
39 : 16 (Hamonahis also the name of the city.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.
39 : 17 As for you,son of man, thus says the LordGod:Speak tothe birds of every sort and toall beasts of the field,Assemble and come, gather from all around tothe sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood.
39 : 18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth&emdash;of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, of bulls, all of themfat beasts of Bashan.
39 : 19 And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you.
39 : 20 And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,declares the LordGod.
39 : 21 AndI will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall seemy judgment that I have executed, andmy hand that I have laid on them.
39 : 22 The house of Israel shall know that I am theLordtheir God, from that day forward.
39 : 23 Andthe nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me thatI hid my face from them andgave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.
39 : 24 I dealt with themaccording to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them.
39 : 25 Therefore thus says the LordGod: NowI will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy onthe whole house of Israel, andI will be jealous for my holy name.
39 : 26 They shallforget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, whenthey dwell securely in their land withnone to make them afraid,
39 : 27 when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies' lands,and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations.
39 : 28 Then they shall know that I am theLordtheir God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore.
39 : 29 And I will not hide my face anymore from them, whenI pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the LordGod.
