Ezekiel 39 — ENGLXXUP

39 Verse 1 And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, Rhos prince of Meshech and Tubal: ^{Verse 2} and I will assemble thee, and guide thee, and raise thee up on the extremity of the north, and I will bring thee up upon the mountains of Israel. ^{Verse 3} And I will destroy thy bow out of thy left hand, and thine arrows out of thy right hand, and I will cast thee down on the mountains of Israel; ^{Verse 4} and thou and all that belong to thee shall fall, and the nations that are with thee shall be given to multitudes of birds, even to every fowl, and I have given thee to all the wild beasts of the field to be devoured. ^{Verse 5} Thou shalt fall on the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord. ^{Verse 6} And I will send a fire upon Gog, and the islands shall be securely inhabited: and they shall know that I am the Lord. ^{Verse 7} And my holy name shall be known in the midst of my people Israel; and my holy name shall no more be profaned: and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. ^{Verse 8} Behold it is come, and thou shalt know that it shall be, saith the Lord God; this is the day concerning which I have spoken. ^{Verse 9} And they that inhabit the cities of Israel shall come forth, and make a fire with the arms, the shields and spears, and bows and arrows, and hand staffs, and lances, and they shall keep fire burning with them for seven years: ^{Verse 10} and they shall not take any wood out of the field, neither shall they cut any out of the forests, but they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall plunder those that plundered them, and spoil those that spoiled them, saith the Lord. ^{Verse 11} And it shall come to pass that in that day I will give to Gog a place of renown, a tomb in Israel, the burial place of them that approach the sea: and they shall build round about the outlet of the valley, and there they shall bury Gog and all his multitude: and the place shall then be called the burial place of Gog. ^{Verse 12} And the house of Israel shall bury them, that the land may be cleansed in the space of seven months. ^{Verse 13} Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a place of renown in the day wherein it was glorified, saith the Lord. ^{Verse 14} And they shall appoint men continually to go over the land, to bury them that have been left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it after the space of seven months, and they shall seek them out. ^{Verse 15} And everyone that goes through the land, and sees a man’s bone, shall set up a mark by it, until the buriers shall have buried it in the valley, the burial place of Gog. ^{Verse 16} For the name of the city shall be Burial place: so shall the land be cleansed. ^{Verse 17} And thou, son of man, say, Thus saith the Lord; Say to every winged bird, and to all the wild beasts of the field, ^{Verse 18} Ye shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and ye shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, rams, and calves and goats, and they are all fatted calves. ^{Verse 19} And ye shall eat fat till ye are full, and shall drink wine till ye are drunken, of my sacrifice which I have prepared for you. ^{Verse 20} And ye shall be filled at my table, eating horse, and rider, and mighty man, and every warrior, saith the Lord. ^{Verse 21} And I will set my glory among you, and all the nations shall see my judgment which I have wrought, and my hand which I have brought upon them. ^{Verse 22} And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from this day and onward. ^{Verse 23} And all the nations shall know that the house of Israel were led captive because of their sins, because they rebelled against me, and I turned away my face from them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. ^{Verse 24} According to their uncleannesses and according to their transgressions did I deal with them, and I turned away my face from them. ^{Verse 25} Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I turn back captivity in Jacob, and will have mercy on the house of Israel, and will be jealous for the sake of my holy name. ^{Verse 26} And they shall bear their reproach, and the iniquity which they committed when they dwelt upon their land in peace. Yet there shall be none to terrify them ^{Verse 27} when I have brought them back from the nations, and gathered them out of the countries of the nations: and I will be sanctified among them in the presence of the nations. ^{Verse 28} And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, when I have been manifested to them among the nations. ^{Verse 29} And I will no more turn away my face from them, because I have poured out my wrath upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
