Ezekiel

1 There­fore, thou son of man, proph­esy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the moun­tains of Is­rael: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine ar­rows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the moun­tains of Is­rael, thou, and all thy bands, and the peo­ple that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of ev­ery sort, and to the beasts of the field to be de­voured. 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spo­ken it, saith the Lord GOD. 6 And I will send a fire on Ma­gog, and among them that dwell care­less­ly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my peo­ple Is­rael; and I will not let them pol­lute my holy name any more: and the hea­then shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Is­rael. 8 Be­hold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day where­of I have spo­ken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Is­rael shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the buck­lers, the bows and the ar­rows, and the hand­staves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire sev­en years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, nei­ther cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD. 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Is­rael, the val­ley of the pas­sen­gers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the pas­sen­gers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his mul­ti­tude: and they shall call it The val­ley of Ha­mon­gog. 12 And sev­en months shall the house of Is­rael be bury­ing of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the peo­ple of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glo­ri­fied, saith the Lord GOD. 14 And they shall sev­er out men of con­tin­u­al em­ploy­ment, pass­ing through the land to bury with the pas­sen­gers those that re­main upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: af­ter the end of sev­en months shall they search. 15 And the pas­sen­gers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buri­ers have buried it in the val­ley of Ha­mon­gog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Ha­mon­ah. Thus shall they cleanse the land. 17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto ev­ery feath­ered fowl, and to ev­ery beast of the field, As­sem­ble your­selves, and come; gath­er your­selves on ev­ery side to my sac­ri­fice that I do sac­ri­fice for you, even a great sac­ri­fice upon the moun­tains of Is­rael, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bul­locks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunk­en, of my sac­ri­fice which I have sac­ri­ficed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with hors­es and char­i­ots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I will set my glo­ry among the hea­then, and all the hea­then shall see my judg­ment that I have ex­e­cut­ed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 22 So the house of Is­rael shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and for­ward. 23 And the hea­then shall know that the house of Is­rael went into cap­tiv­i­ty for their in­iq­ui­ty: be­cause they tres­passed against me, there­fore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their en­e­mies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 Ac­cord­ing to their un­clean­ness and ac­cord­ing to their trans­gres­sions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the cap­tiv­i­ty of Ja­cob, and have mer­cy upon the whole house of Is­rael, and will be jeal­ous for my holy name; 26 Af­ter that they have borne their shame, and all their tres­pass­es where­by they have tres­passed against me, when they dwelt safe­ly in their land, and none made them afraid. 27 When I have brought them again from the peo­ple, and gath­ered them out of their en­e­mies' lands, and am sanc­ti­fied in them in the sight of many na­tions; 28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into cap­tiv­i­ty among the hea­then: but I have gath­ered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 29 Nei­ther will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spir­it upon the house of Is­rael, saith the Lord GOD.
