1 Therfore O thou sonne of man, prophecie against Gog, & speake, thus sayth the Lorde God: Behold O Gog, thou chiefe prince at Mesech and Tubal, I will vpon thee. 2 And I wil turne thee about, and I wil prouoke thee forward, and cause thee to come vp from the north partes, and bring thee vp to the mountaynes of Israel. 3 As for thy bow, I wil smite it out of thy left hande, and cause thyne arrowes to fall out of thy right hande. 4 Thou with all thyne hoast, and all the people that is with thee, shall fall vpon the mountaynes of Israel: then will I geue thee vnto the flockes of birdes euen to all fethered foules and beastes of the fielde, to be deuoured. 5 Thou shalt fal vpon the open fielde: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lorde God. 6 Into Magog, and among those that sit so carelesse in the Iles will I sende a fire, and they shall know that I am the Lorde. 7 I will make also the name of my holinesse to be knowen among my people of Israel, and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: but the very heathen also shall knowe that I am the Lord, the holy one of Israel. 8 Behold it is come, and it is done, sayth the Lorde God: this is the day wherof I haue spoken. 9 They that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go foorth and set fire vpon the weapons, and burne them, shieldes and speares, bowes & arowes, hand staues and swordes, and they shal burne them with fire seuen yeres. 10 So that they shall els bring no wood from the fielde, neither hew downe any out of the wood: for with weapons shal they make their fire, they shall rob those that robbed them, and spoyle those that spoyled them, sayth the Lorde God. 11 At the same time wil I geue vnto Gog a place to be buried in Israel, euen the valley wherethrough men go towarde the east sea: those that trauayle thereby, shall stop their noses, there shall Gog and all his multitute be buried, & it shalbe called the valley of the multitude of Gog. 12 Seuen monethes long shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the lande. 13 Yea all the people of the land shal burie them, and they shall haue a name when I shalbe glorified, sayth the Lord God.
