The Bible
Ezekiel Chapter 39
1You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says LordOfMine
4You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of the field to be devoured.
5You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken it, says LordOfMine
6I will send a fire on Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne
7My holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am ForeverOne
8Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says LordOfMine
9Those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs, and the spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years; 10so that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says LordOfMine
11In that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those who pass through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they shall call it The valley of Hamon Gog.
12Seven months shall the house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.
13Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says LordOfMine
14They shall set apart men of continual employment, who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through, those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15Those who pass through the land shall pass through; and when any sees a man's bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.
16Hamonah shall also be the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17You, son of man, thus says LordOfMine
18You 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 bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19You shall eat fat until you be full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20You shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says LordOfMine
21I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.
22So the house of Israel shall know that I am ForeverOne
23The nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword.
24I acted according to their uncleanness and their transgressions; and I hid my face from them.
25Therefore thus says LordOfMine
26They shall bear their shame, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they shall dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid; 27when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.
28They shall know that I am ForeverOne
