Chapter 39 |
| 1 | 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:
|
| 2 | 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: |
| 3 | And I will smite thy bow out of thy left
hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. |
| 4 |
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. |
| 5 | Thou shalt
fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. |
| 6 |
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. |
| 7 | 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. |
| 8 | Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the
Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. |
| 9 | 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. |
