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. |
