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:
02 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the
sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come
up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon
the mountains of Israel:
03 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand,
and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy
right hand.
04 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,
thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is
with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous
birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the
field to be devoured.
05 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I
have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
06 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.
07 So will I make my holy name known in the midst
of my people Israel; and I will not let them
pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen
shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in
Israel.
08 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the
Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
09 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 handstaves, and
the spears, and they shall burn them with fire
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 burn the weapons with fire: and
they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob
those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I
will give unto 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 Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be
burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury
them; and it shall be to them a renown the day
that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.
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.
15 And the passengers that 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 Hamongog.

16 And also the name of the city shall be
Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God;
Speak unto 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.
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.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and
drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice
which I have sacrificed for you.
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.
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.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am
the Lord their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of
Israel went into captivity for their iniquity:
because they trespassed against me, therefore hid
I my face from them, and gave them into the hand
of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according
to their transgressions have I done unto them,
and hid my face from them.
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;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and
all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed
against me, when they dwelt safely in their land,
and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the
people, and gathered them out of their enemies'
lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of
many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their
God, which caused them to be led into captivity
among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their own land, and have left none of them any
more there.
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.
