Ezekiel 39:9-16
New American Standard Bible
9 “Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will (A)go out and make (B)fires with the weapons and burn them, both [a]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 (C)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 [b]Hamon-gog. 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to (D)cleanse the land. 13 And all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be [c]to their (E)renown on the day that I (F)appear in My glory,” declares the Lord God. 14 “They will also select men who will constantly pass through the land, (G)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 [d]set up a marker by it until the burial detail has buried it in the Valley of [e]Hamon-gog. 16 And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. So they will cleanse the land.”’

9 “Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go forth and make fires of the weapons and burn them, shields and bucklers, bow and arrows, handpikes 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 they will make their fires of the weapons; they will despoil those who despoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord God.
The Burial of Gog
11 “On that day I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the Valley of the Travelers[a] east of the sea; it will block the travelers, for there Gog and all his multitude will be buried; it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.[b] 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land. 13 All the people of the land will bury them; and it will redound to their honor on the day that I show my glory, says the Lord God. 14 They will set apart men to pass through the land continually and bury[c] those remaining upon the face of the land, so as to cleanse it; at the end of seven months they will make their search. 15 And when these pass through the land and any one sees a man’s bone, then he shall set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. 16 (A city Hamo′nah[d] is there also.) Thus shall they cleanse the land.

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,(A) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.(B) 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(C) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(D)
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(E) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.[a](F)
12 “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.(G) 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory(H) 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.[b] And so they will cleanse the land.’
