1 A nd thou, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal,

“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal;

2 A nd have turned thee back, and enticed thee, And caused thee to come up from the sides of the north, And brought thee in against mountains of Israel,

and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

3 A nd have smitten thy bow out of thy left hand, Yea, thine arrows out of thy right I cause to fall.

Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand.

4 O n mountains of Israel thou fallest, Thou, and all thy bands, and the peoples who with thee, To ravenous fowl -- a bird of every wing, And a beast of the field, I have given thee for food.

You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 O n the face of the field thou fallest, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God.

6 A nd I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I Jehovah.

“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 A nd My holy name I make known in the midst of My people Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have the nations that I, Jehovah, the Holy One, in Israel.

So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8 L o, it hath come, and it hath been done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, It the day of which I spake.

Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day of which I have spoken.

9 A nd gone out have the inhabitants of cities of Israel, And they have burned and kindled, With armour, and shield, and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand-staves, and with javelins, And they have caused a fire to burn with them seven years,

“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years.

10 A nd they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they hew out of the forests, For with armour they cause the fire to burn, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have plundered their plunderers, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God. The Burial of Gog

11 A nd it hath come to pass, in that day, I give to Gog a place there -- a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog!

“It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

12 A nd the house of Israel have buried them -- in order to cleanse the land -- seven months.

For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

13 Y ea, all the people of the land have buried them, and it hath been to them for a name -- the day of My being honoured -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the Lord God.

14 A nd men for continual employment they separate, passing on through the land, burying with those passing by those who are left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it: at the end of seven months they search.

“They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

15 A nd those passing by have passed through the land, and seen a bone of man, and one hath constructed near it a sign till those burying have buried it in the valley of the multitude of Gog.

The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

16 A nd also the name of the city The multitude; and they have cleansed the land.

The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the land.”’ A Triumphant Festival

17 A nd thou, son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Say to the bird -- every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on mountains of Israel, And ye have eaten flesh, and drunk blood.

“And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: “Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel, That you may eat flesh and drink blood.

18 F lesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves, fatlings of Bashan -- all of them.

You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, Drink the blood of the princes of the earth, Of rams and lambs, Of goats and bulls, All of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 A nd ye have eaten fat to satiety, And ye have drunk blood -- to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you.

You shall eat fat till you are full, And drink blood till you are drunk, At My sacrificial meal Which I am sacrificing for you.

20 A nd ye have been satisfied at My table with horse and rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

You shall be filled at My table With horses and riders, With mighty men And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God. Israel Restored to the Land

21 A nd I have given My honour among nations, And seen have all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that I have laid on them.

“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.

22 A nd known have the house of Israel that I Jehovah their God, From that day and henceforth.

So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.

23 A nd known have the nations that for their iniquity, Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword -- all of them.

The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24 A ccording to their uncleanness, And according to their transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face from them.

According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.”’

25 T herefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now do I bring back the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name.

“Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name—

26 A nd they have forgotten their shame, And all their trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on their land confidently and none troubling.

after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid.

27 I n My bringing them back from the peoples, I have assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations,

When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations,

28 A nd they have known that I Jehovah their God, In My removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto their land, And I leave none of them any more there.

then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them captive any longer.

29 A nd I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”
