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. |
