“And (A)my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and (B)I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore. And (C)the nations shall know that I am (D)the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. (E)Behold, it is coming and it will be brought about, declares the Lord God. That is the day (F)of which I have spoken.

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