Ezekiel 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 Ha'mon-gog. 1
|
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 Ha'mon-gog.
|
16 |
And also the name of the city shall
be Hamo'nah 2 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. Rev. 19.17, 18
|
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.
