Ezekiel 39:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “ ‘ “I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I will no longer let them treat my name as if it were not holy. Then the nations will know that I am the Holy One in Israel. I am the Lord. ⁸ The day I will judge you is coming. You can be sure of it,” announces the Lord and King. “It is the day I have spoken about.

⁹ “ ‘ “At that time those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and light a fire. They will use it to burn up the weapons. That includes small and large shields. It also includes bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. It will take seven years to burn all of them up.
