預言歌革的失敗與刑罰

39 “人子啊!你要向歌革說預言:‘主耶和華這樣說:羅施、米設和土巴的首領歌革啊!我要與你為敵。 我要使你轉過來,帶你從北方的極處上來,領你去攻擊以色列的眾山。 然後,我要擊落你左手的弓,打落你右手的箭。 你必倒在以色列的眾山之上,你所有的軍隊和跟你在一起的萬族,都必這樣;我要把你給各種食肉的飛鳥和田野的走獸作食物。 你必倒在田野,因為我已經說過了。這是主耶和華的宣告。 我必降火在瑪各和安居在沿海地帶的人身上,他們就知道我是耶和華。

“‘我要在我子民以色列中彰顯我的聖名,我必不再讓我的聖名被褻瀆;這樣,列國就知道我是耶和華,是以色列中的聖者。 看哪!那日子臨近了,事情必定應驗,這就是我所說過的那一天。這是主耶和華的宣告。

“‘那時,以色列各城的居民必出來,把武器當柴焚燒,就是大小的盾牌、弓、箭、槍和矛,都當柴焚燒,足有七年的時間。 10 他們不必從田野撿柴,也不必從樹林裡伐木,因為他們必把武器當柴燒;他們必搶劫那些曾搶劫他們的人,掠奪那些掠奪他們的人。這是主耶和華的宣告。

埋葬歌革之地

11 “‘到那日,我必在以色列給歌革一塊墳地,就是那些朝東往死海去的人所經過的谷。這墳地使過路之人無法通過,因為那裡埋葬了歌革和他的眾軍。因此,那地必稱為哈們.歌革谷。 12 以色列家要用七個月的時間去埋葬他們,為要潔淨那地。 13 那地所有的人民都必埋葬他們。這是我得榮耀的日子,以色列人也必因此得享美名。這是主耶和華的宣告。 14 他們必分派人經常遍行那地,與過路的人一起埋葬那些還留在地面上的屍體,為要潔淨那地;過了七個月,他們還要繼續搜索。 15 他們遍行那地,見有人的骸骨,就在旁邊立個標記,等埋葬的人來把骸骨葬在哈們.歌革谷。 16 那裡也有一座城名叫哈摩那。他們必這樣潔淨那地。’

17 “人子啊!主耶和華這樣說:你要對各類的飛鳥和田野的走獸說:‘你們集合起來,從四圍聚集來吃我為你們所預備的祭肉。以色列眾山上要獻大祭,好叫你們吃肉喝血。 18 你們要吃勇士的肉,喝那地眾領袖的血,就如吃公綿羊、羊羔、公山羊和公牛,全部都是巴珊的肥畜。 19 你們吃我為你們所預備的祭,必吃飽脂油,喝醉了血。 20 你們必在我的筵席上吃飽馬匹、騎兵、勇士和所有的戰士。這是主耶和華的宣告。’

以色列蒙恩回歸

21 “我必在列國中彰顯我的榮耀,萬邦必看見我施行的審判,和我加在他們身上的手。 22 這樣,從那日起,以色列家就必知道我是耶和華他們的 神。 23 列國也必知道以色列家是因自己的罪孽被擄去。他們對我不忠,所以我掩面不顧他們,把他們交在敵人手中,他們就都倒在刀下。 24 我是照著他們的污穢和過犯對待他們,並且掩面不顧他們。

25 “因此,主耶和華這樣說:現在我要使雅各被擄的歸回;我要憐憫以色列全家,又為我的聖名大發熱心。 26 他們在自己的土地上安然居住、無人驚嚇的時候,就要擔當自己的羞辱和向我所犯一切不忠的罪; 27 我把他們從萬族中領回來,從仇敵之地召回來的時候,我必在他們身上向列國顯為聖。 28 我使他們被擄到列國去,後來又聚集他們到自己的土地,連一個也不再留在列國那裡。這樣,他們就知道我是耶和華他們的 神。 29 我也不再掩面不顧他們,因為我已經把我的靈澆灌在以色列家。這是主耶和華的宣告。”

Gog’s Armies Destroyed

39 “And (A)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, [a]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; and I will (B)turn you around and lead you on, (C)bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. (D)You shall [b]fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; (E)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. You shall [c]fall on [d]the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. (F)“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live [e]in security in (G)the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. (H)So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them (I)profane My holy name anymore. (J)Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. (K)Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day (L)of which I have spoken.

“Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the [f]javelins and spears; and they will make fires with them for seven years. 10 They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with the weapons; (M)and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the Lord God.

The Burial of Gog

11 “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of [g]Hamon Gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, (N)in order to cleanse the land. 13 Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain (O)renown for it on the day that (P)I am glorified,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of [h]a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order (Q)to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. 15 The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall [i]set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog. 16 The name of the city will also be [j]Hamonah. Thus they shall (R)cleanse the land.” ’

A Triumphant Festival

17 “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, (S)‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:

(T)“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My (U)sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal (V)on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 (W)You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them (X)fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 (Y)You shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
(Z)With mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.

Israel Restored to the Land

21 (AA)“I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and (AB)My hand which I have laid on them. 22 (AC)So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 (AD)The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore (AE)I hid My face from them. I (AF)gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword. 24 (AG)According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’

25 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: (AH)‘Now I will bring back the captives of Jacob, and have mercy on the (AI)whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name— 26 (AJ)after they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, when they (AK)dwelt safely in their own land and no one made them afraid. 27 (AL)When I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and I (AM)am hallowed in them in the sight of many nations, 28 (AN)then they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who sent them into captivity among the nations, but also brought them back to their land, and left none of them [k]captive any longer. 29 (AO)And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have (AP)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord God.”

Prophecy against Gog—Invaders Destroyed

39 “And (A)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘This is what the Lord [a]God says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; and I will turn you around, lead you on a rope, take you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. Then I will (B)strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand. 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 [b]kind of predatory bird and animal of the field. You will fall on the [c]open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares the Lord God. “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.

“And I will make My (G)holy name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not allow My holy name to be (H)profaned anymore. But the (I)nations will know that I am the Lord, the (J)Holy One in Israel. Behold, it is coming and it shall be done,” declares the Lord God. “That is the day of which I have spoken.

“Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will (K)go out and make (L)fires with the weapons and burn them, both [d]bucklers and shields, 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, because they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoils of those who plundered them and seize the (M)plunder of those who plundered them,” declares the Lord God.

11 “On that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block the way of those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the Valley of [e]Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to (N)cleanse the land. 13 And all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be [f]to their (O)renown on the day that I (P)appear in My glory,” declares the Lord God. 14 “They will also select men who will constantly pass through the land, (Q)burying those who were passing through, those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will conduct a search. 15 As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, then he will [g]set up a marker by it until the burial detail has buried it in the Valley of [h]Hamon-gog. 16 And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’

17 “Now as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Say to every [i]kind of (R)bird and to every (S)animal of the field: “Assemble and come, gather from every direction to My sacrifice, which I am going to (T)sacrifice for you as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; and you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will (U)eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the leaders of the earth, as though they were (V)rams, lambs, goats, and (W)bulls, all of them fattened livestock of (X)Bashan. 19 So you will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 You will eat your fill at My table with (Y)horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.

21 “And I will place My (Z)glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them. 22 And the house of Israel will (AA)know that I am the Lord their God, from that day onward. 23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their (AB)wrongdoing, because they were disloyal to Me, and I (AC)hid My face from them; so I handed them over to their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword. 24 (AD)In accordance with their uncleanness and their offenses I dealt with them, and I hid My face from them.”’”

Israel Restored

25 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Now I will (AE)restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on all the (AF)house of Israel; and I will be (AG)jealous for My holy name. 26 They will [j](AH)forget their disgrace and all their [k]treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they (AI)live securely on their own land with (AJ)no one to make them afraid. 27 When I (AK)bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall (AL)show Myself holy [l]through them in the sight of the many nations. 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then I gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. 29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have (AM)poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.
