Ezekiel 39:1-13 ▼

1 “And you, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, || Chief prince of [[or prince of Rosh,]] Meshech and Tubal,

2 And have turned you back, and enticed you, || And caused you to come up from the sides of the north, || And brought you in against mountains of Israel,

3 And have struck your bow out of your left hand, || Indeed, I cause your arrows to fall out of your right.

4 You fall on mountains of Israel, || You, and all your bands, and the peoples who [are] with you, || To ravenous bird—a bird of every wing, || And [to] a beast of the field, I have given you for food.

5 You fall on the face of the field, for I have spoken, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.

6 And I have sent a fire against Magog, || And against the confident inhabitants of the islands, || And they have known that I [am] YHWH.

7 And I make My holy Name known in the midst of My people Israel, || And I do not defile My holy Name anymore, || And the nations have known that I, YHWH, the Holy One, [am] in Israel.

8 Behold, it has come, and it has been done, || A declaration of Lord YHWH, || It [is] the day of which I spoke.

9 And those dwelling [in the] cities of Israel have gone out, || And they have burned and kindled [a fire], || With armor, and shield, and buckler, || With bow, and with arrows, || And with hand weapon, and with javelin, || And they have caused a fire to burn seven years with them,

10 And they do not take wood out of the field, || Nor do they hew out of the forests, || For they cause the fire to burn with armor, || And they have spoiled their spoilers, || And they have plundered their plunderers, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.

11 And it has come to pass in that day, I give a place to Gog there—a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!

12 And the house of Israel has buried them—in order to cleanse the land—seven months.

13 Indeed, all the people of the land have buried them, and it has been to them for a name—the day of My being honored—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
