1 "You, Son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2 I will turn you about and drive you on; I will bring you up from the remotest north and lead you against the mountains of Israel.
3 I will knock your bow out of your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand.
4 On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your hordes and the peoples with you; to birds of prey of every winged kind and to the animals of the field I have given you as food.
5 On the open field you will fall, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.
6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in safety on the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 "I will make my holy name known among my people Israel, and I will never again let my holy name be profaned; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 See, it is coming and it will be done, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day I have spoken of.
9 "Then the people who live in the cities of Israel will go out and light fires with the weapons and burn them, bucklers and shields, bows and arrows, clubs and spears; for seven years they will keep fires going with them.
10 They will not have to gather wood from the field or cut any from the forests, because they will keep their fires going with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Lord GOD.
11 "On that day I will give Gog a burial site there in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers, east of the sea; it will block the travelers' way. There Gog and all his horde will be buried, and it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.
12 The house of Israel will spend seven months burying them, to cleanse the land.
13 All the people of the land will bury them, and it will bring them renown on the day I display my glory, declares the Lord GOD.
14 They will appoint men to work full-time, going through the land and, with the help of travelers, burying those left lying on the face of the land, to cleanse it. When the seven months are over they will carry out a search.
15 As they go through the land, whenever one of them sees a human bone, he will set up a marker next to it until the gravediggers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.
16 (A city too will be named Hamonah.) So they will cleanse the land.
17 "You, Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: Tell every winged kind of bird and every animal of the field, 'Gather and come! Assemble from all around to my sacrifice that I am slaughtering for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; you will eat flesh and drink blood.
18 You will eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, lambs and goats, and of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 You will eat fat until you are full and drink blood until you are drunk at the sacrifice I am slaughtering for you.
20 At my table you will have your fill of horses and riders, of warriors and fighting men of every kind,' declares the Lord GOD.
21 "I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment I carry out and the hand I lay on them.
22 From that day on the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God.
23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to me; so I hid my face from them and handed them over to their foes, and all of them fell by the sword.
24 I dealt with them as their uncleanness and their transgressions deserved, and I hid my face from them.
25 "So thus says the Lord GOD: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have compassion on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name.
26 They will bear their disgrace and all the unfaithfulness they showed me, when they live safely on their own soil with no one to frighten them,
27 when I bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies and show myself holy through them before the eyes of many nations.
28 Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who sent them into exile among the nations and then gathered them to their own soil; I will not leave any of them behind there.
29 Never again will I hide my face from them, for I will have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD."
