Ezekiel 39:1-10
Prophecy against Gog—Invaders Destroyed
1 “And (A)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says the Lord (a)God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, (b)prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal;
2 and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north and bring you against the mountains of Israel.
3 I will (B)strike your bow from your left hand and dash down your arrows from your right hand.
4 You will (C)fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as (D)food to every (c)kind of predatory bird and beast of the field.
5 You will fall on the (d)open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord God.
6 “And I will send (E)fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the (F)coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “My (G)holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let My holy name be (H)profaned anymore. And the (I)nations will know that I am the Lord, the (J)Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is coming and it shall be done,” declares the Lord God. “That is the day of which I have spoken.
9 “Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will (K)go out and make (L)fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them.
10 They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who despoiled them and seize the (M)plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.
