| 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. |
