¹⁸ This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. ¹⁹ In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake^(A) in the land of Israel.^{(B) 20} The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble^(C) at my presence. The mountains will be overturned,^(D) the cliffs will crumble^(E) and every wall will fall to the ground.^{(F) 21} I will summon a sword^(G) against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother.^{(H) 22} I will execute judgment^(I) on him with plague and bloodshed;^(J) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones^(K) and burning sulfur^(L) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.^{(M) 23} And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(N)’

39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog^(O) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of^[a] Meshek^(P) and Tubal.^{(Q) 2} I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north^(R) and send you against the mountains of Israel.^{(S) 3} Then I will strike your bow^(T) from your left hand and make your arrows^(U) drop from your right hand. ⁴ On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds^(V) and to the wild animals.^{(W) 5} You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.^{(X) 6} I will send fire^(Y) on Magog^(Z) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,^(AA) and they will know^(AB) that I am the Lord.

⁷ “‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned,^(AC) and the nations will know^(AD) that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.^{(AE) 8} It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day^(AF) I have spoken of.

⁹ “‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows,^(AG) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.^{(AH) 10} They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder^(AI) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(AJ)

¹¹ “‘On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried^(AK) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.^[b](AL)

¹² “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.^{(AM) 13} All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory^(AN) will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. ¹⁴ People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground.

“‘After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. ¹⁵ As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog, ¹⁶ near a town called Hamonah.^[c] And so they will cleanse the land.’
