Ezekiel 39:1-10

English Standard Version

39 “And you, ^(A)son of man, ^(B)prophesy against ^(C)Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, ^(D)I am against you, O Gog, ^(E)chief prince of ^(F)Meshech^[a] and ^(G)Tubal. ²^(H)And I will turn you about and drive you forward,^[b] and bring you up from ^(I)the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the ^(J)mountains of Israel. ³Then ^(K)I will strike your bow from your left hand, and ^(L)will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. ⁴^(M)You shall fall on ^(N)the mountains of Israel, you and all your ^(O)hordes and the peoples who are with you. ^(P)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. ⁵You shall fall in the open field, for ^(Q)I have spoken, declares the Lord God. ⁶^(R)I will send fire on ^(S)Magog and on those ^(T)who dwell securely in ^(U)the coastlands, and ^(V)they shall know that I am the Lord.

⁷“And ^(W)my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and ^(X)I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And ^(Y)the nations shall know that I am ^(Z)the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. ⁸^(AA)Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the Lord God. That is the day ^(AB)of which I have spoken.

⁹“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and ^(AC)make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, ^(AD)clubs^[c] and spears; and they will make fires of them for seven years, ¹⁰so that they will not need to take wood out of the field or cut down any out of the forests, for ^(AE)they will make their fires of the weapons. ^(AF)They will seize the spoil of those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, declares the Lord God.
