Prophecy against Gog—Invaders Destroyed
39 “And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince (ruler) of Meshech and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around and lead you along, and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north, and I will bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You will fall [dead] on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the nations who are with you. I will give you to every kind of predatory bird and animal of the field as food. 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 “I will also send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the coastlands; and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord.
7 “I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore; and the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. 8 Behold, it is coming and it will be done,” says the Lord God. “That is the day of which I have spoken.
9 And [when you, Gog, no longer exist] those who live in the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both the [large] shields and the [a]bucklers (small shields), the bows and the arrows, the war clubs and the spears; and for seven years they will burn them. 10 They will not take any wood from the field or cut down and gather [any] firewood from the forests, because they will make their fires using the weapons. And they will take the spoil from those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them,” says the Lord God.
11 “And on that day I will give Gog a place for burial there in Israel, the valley of those who pass through east of the sea, and it will block the way of those who would pass through. So they will [b]bury Gog there with all his hordes, and they will call it the Valley of Hamon-gog (the multitude of Gog). 12 For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. 13 Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be to their renown on the day that I appear in My glory and brilliance,” says the Lord God. 14 “They will elect men who will constantly go through the land, [men commissioned] to bury those who were passing through, those bodies that lie unburied on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will do a search. 15 As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a human bone, he will set up a marker beside it, until the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog. 16 And even the name of the city will be Hamonah. In this manner they shall cleanse the land.”’
17 “As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Say to every kind of bird and to every animal of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice that I am slaughtering for you, as a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan [east of the Jordan]. 19 So you will eat fat until you are filled and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast which I have prepared for you. 20 You will eat your fill at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men, and with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
21 “And I will bring [and manifest] My glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment and justice [in the punishment] which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. 22 So the house of Israel will know [with absolute confidence] that I am the Lord their God from that day forward. 23 And the nations will know [without any doubt] that the house of Israel went into exile for their great sin, because they acted treacherously against Me; and I hid My face (favor, blessing) from them. So I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell [into captivity or were killed] by [the power of] the sword.(A) 24 I dealt with them in accordance with their uncleanness and their transgressions, and I hid My face from them.”’”
Israel Restored
25 Therefore thus says the Lord God, “Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob (Israel) and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for My holy name [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely mine]. 26 They will forget their disgrace and all their treachery (unfaithfulness) which they perpetuated against Me, when they live securely in their own land and there is no one who makes them afraid. 27 When I bring them back from the nations and gather them out of their enemies’ lands, then I shall show Myself holy [and My justice and holiness will be vindicated] through them in the sight of many nations. 28 Then they will know [without any doubt] that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then gathered them to their own land. I will leave none of them there [among the nations] any longer. 29 I will not hide My face from them any longer, because I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” says the Lord God.

And not just some, but all of Gog’s hordes will die then (vv 4, 11); before they have had a chance to use their weapons, God will strike them from their hands (v 3).

39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog(A) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshek(B) and Tubal.(C) 2 I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north(D) and send you against the mountains of Israel.(E) 3 Then I will strike your bow(F) from your left hand and make your arrows(G) 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(H) and to the wild animals.(I) 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(J) 6 I will send fire(K) on Magog(L) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,(M) and they will know(N) 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,(O) and the nations will know(P) that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.(Q) 8 It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day(R) 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,(S) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.(T) 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(U) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(V)
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(W) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.[b](X)
12 “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.(Y) 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory(Z) 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.’
17 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call out to every kind of bird(AA) and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.(AB) 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan.(AC) 19 At the sacrifice(AD) I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.(AE)
21 “I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them.(AF) 22 From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.(AG) 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.(AH)
25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob[d](AI) and will have compassion(AJ) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.(AK) 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety(AL) in their land with no one to make them afraid.(AM) 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.(AN) 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them(AO) to their own land, not leaving any behind.(AP) 29 I will no longer hide my face(AQ) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit(AR) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AS)”

Das Gericht über Gog
39 So weissage nun, Menschensohn, gegen Gog und sprich: So spricht Gott, der Herr: Siehe, ich komme über dich, Gog, du Fürst von Rosch, Mesech und Tubal!
2 Und ich will dich herumlenken und dich gängeln und dich heraufführen vom äußersten Norden und dich auf die Berge Israels bringen.
3 Und ich werde dir den Bogen aus deiner linken Hand schlagen und die Pfeile aus deiner rechten Hand fallen lassen.
4 Auf den Bergen Israels sollst du fallen, samt allen deinen Kriegsscharen und allen Vökern, die bei dir sind; dort will ich dich den Raubvögeln aller Gattungen und den wilden Tieren des Feldes zur Speise geben.
5 Du sollst auf dem freien Feld fallen! Ich habe es gesagt, spricht Gott, der Herr.
6 Und ich werde Feuer senden gegen Magog und gegen die, welche auf den Inseln[a] sicher wohnen; und sie sollen erkennen, dass ich der Herr bin.
7 Und ich werde meinen heiligen Namen offenbar machen unter meinem Volk Israel, und ich werde meinen heiligen Namen künftig nicht mehr entweihen lassen; sondern die Heidenvölker sollen erkennen, dass ich, der Herr, der Heilige in Israel bin!
8 Siehe, es kommt und es wird geschehen!, spricht Gott, der Herr. Das ist der Tag, von dem ich geredet habe.
9 Und die Bewohner der Städte Israels werden herauskommen und ein Feuer anzünden und die Waffen verbrennen, Kleinschilde und Großschilde, Bogen und Pfeile, Keulen und Speere, und werden sieben Jahre lang damit heizen.
10 Man wird kein Holz mehr vom Feld holen und keines in den Wäldern hauen; sondern man wird die Waffen als Brennstoff benützen. Sie werden diejenigen berauben, die sie beraubt haben, und diejenigen plündern, die sie geplündert haben, spricht Gott, der Herr.
11 Und es wird zu jener Zeit geschehen, dass ich für Gog einen Ort zum Begräbnis in Israel anweisen werde, nämlich das Tal Abarim[b] östlich vom [Toten] Meer, und es wird den Umherziehenden [den Weg] versperren. Dort wird man Gog und seinen ganzen Heerhaufen begraben; und man wird es das »Tal des Heerhaufens von Gog«[c] nennen.
12 Das Haus Israel wird an ihnen sieben Monate lang zu begraben haben, um das Land zu reinigen.
13 Und zwar wird das ganze Volk des Landes sie begraben, und das wird ihnen zum Ruhm gereichen. Es ist die Zeit, da ich mich verherrlichen werde, spricht Gott, der Herr.
14 Und man wird Männer bestellen, die beständig das Land durchstreifen, um zur Reinigung mithilfe der Umherziehenden die auf der Erdoberfläche liegen gebliebenen Toten zu begraben; nach Verlauf von sieben Monaten werden sie Nachforschung halten.[d]
15 Und wenn die Umherziehenden auf ihrer Reise durchs Land ein Menschengebein sehen, so werden sie dabei ein Mal errichten, bis die Totengräber es im »Tal des Heerhaufens von Gog« begraben haben.
16 Dort wird auch eine Stadt namens »Hamona«[e] sein. So werden sie das Land reinigen.
17 Du aber, Menschensohn — so spricht Gott, der Herr: Sprich zu den Vögeln aller Gattungen und zu allen wilden Tieren des Feldes: Versammelt euch und kommt! Sammelt euch von allen Seiten zu meinem Schlachtopfer, das ich euch geschlachtet habe! Es ist ein großes Schlachtopfer auf den Bergen Israels; esst Fleisch und trinkt Blut!
18 Das Fleisch von Helden sollt ihr essen und das Blut der Fürsten der Erde trinken: Widder, Lämmer, Böcke und Stiere, die alle in Baschan gemästet worden sind.
19 Esst das Fett, bis ihr satt werdet, und trinkt das Blut, bis ihr trunken werdet von meinen Schlachtopfern, die ich euch geschlachtet habe!
20 Sättigt euch an meinem Tisch von Pferden und Reitern, von Helden und allen Kriegsleuten!, spricht Gott, der Herr.
21 Und ich will meine Herrlichkeit unter den Heidenvölkern erweisen, und alle Heidenvölker sollen mein Gericht sehen, das ich gehalten habe, und meine Hand, die ich an sie gelegt habe.
22 Und das Haus Israel soll erkennen, dass ich, der Herr, ihr Gott bin, von diesem Tag an und künftig.
23 Und die Heidenvölker sollen erkennen, dass das Haus Israel wegen seiner Missetat in Gefangenschaft geraten ist, weil sie treulos gegen mich gehandelt haben, weshalb ich mein Angesicht vor ihnen verbarg und sie in die Hand ihrer Feinde gab, sodass sie alle mit dem Schwert erschlagen wurden.
24 Ich habe entsprechend ihrer Unreinheit und ihrer Übertretungen an ihnen gehandelt und habe mein Angesicht vor ihnen verborgen.
Der Herr wird sich über Israel erbarmen
25 Darum, so spricht Gott, der Herr: Jetzt will ich das Geschick[f] Jakobs wenden und mich über das ganze Haus Israel erbarmen und für meinen heiligen Namen eifern.
26 Und sie werden die Verantwortung für ihre Schmach und ihre Treulosigkeit, womit sie sich gegen mich vergangen haben, auf sich nehmen, wenn sie sicher in ihrem Land wohnen und niemand sie aufschreckt,
27 wenn ich sie aus den Völkern zurückgebracht und aus den Ländern ihrer Feinde gesammelt und mich an ihnen heilig erwiesen habe vor den Augen der vielen Heidenvölker.
28 Daran sollen sie erkennen, dass ich, der Herr, ihr Gott bin, weil ich sie unter die Heidenvölker in die Gefangenschaft führen ließ und sie nun wieder in ihr Land versammle und keinen von ihnen mehr dort zurücklasse.
29 Und ich will künftig mein Angesicht nicht mehr vor ihnen verbergen, weil[g] ich meinen Geist über das Haus Israel ausgegossen habe, spricht Gott, der Herr.

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; 2 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. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 (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. 5 You shall [c]fall on [d]the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 (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. 7 (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. 8 (K)Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day (L)of which I have spoken.
9 “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.”
