God’s judgments upon Gog. God’s people were punished for their sins:
but shall be favoured with everlasting kindness.
39:1. And thou, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: Thus saith
the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of
Mosoch and Thubal.
39:2. And I will turn thee round, and I will lead thee out, and will
make thee go up from the northern parts: and will bring thee upon the
mountains of Israel.
39:3. And I will break thy bow in thy left hand, and I will cause thy
arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
39:4. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou and all thy
bands, and thy nations that are with thee: I have given thee to the
wild beasts, to the birds, and to every fowl, and to the beasts of the
earth to be devoured.
39:5. Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it,
saith the Lord God.
39:6. And I will send a fire on Magog, and on them that dwell
confidently in the islands: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
39:7. And I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people
Israel, and my holy name shall be profaned no more: and the Gentiles
shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
39:8. Behold it cometh, and it is done, saith the Lord God: this is the
day whereof I have spoken.
39:9. And the inhabitants shall go forth of the cities of Israel, and
shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields, and the spears,
the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves and the pikes: and they
shall burn them with fire seven years.
39:10. And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down
out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and
shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall
rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
39:11. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a
noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on
the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass
by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall
be called the valley of the multitude of Gog.
39:12. And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to
cleanse the land.
39:13. And all the people of the land shall bury him, and it shall be
unto them a noted day, wherein I was glorified, saith the Lord God.
39:14. And they shall appoint men to go continually about the land, to
bury and to seek out them that were remaining upon the face of the
earth, that they may cleanse it: and after seven months they shall
begin to seek.
39:15. And they shall go about passing through the land: and when they
shall see the bone of a man, they shall set up a sign by it, till the
buriers bury it in the valley, of the multitude of Gog.
39:16. And the name of the city shall be Amona, and they shall cleanse
the land.
39:17. And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl,
and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble
yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim,
which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to
eat flesh, and drink blood.
39:18. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the
blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he
goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat.
39:19. And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink
blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you.
39:20. And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty
horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God.
39:21. And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon
them.
39:22. And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God
from that day and forward.
39:23. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made
captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face
from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and
they fell all by the sword.
39:24. I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and
wickedness, and hid my face from them.
39:25. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the
captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel and
I will be jealous for my holy name.
39:26. And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions
wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in
their land securely fearing no man:
39:27. And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and
shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies,
and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations.
39:28. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I
caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered
them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there.
39:29. And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out
my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
