¹“You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal.

KJVTherefore, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012^(H8734) against Gog^H1463, and say^H559^(H8804), Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog^H1463, the chief^H7218 prince^H5387 of Meshech^H4902 and Tubal^H8422:

² I will turn you around, will lead you on, and will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I will bring you onto the mountains of Israel.

KJVAnd I will turn thee back^H7725^(H8790), and leave but the sixth part^H8338^(H8765) of thee, and will cause thee to come up^H5927^(H8689) from the north^H6828 parts^H3411, and will bring^H935^(H8689) thee upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478:

³ I will strike your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.

KJVAnd I will smite^H5221^(H8689) thy bow^H7198 out of thy left^H8040 hand^H3027, and will cause thine arrows^H2671 to fall^H5307^(H8686) out of thy right^H3225 hand^H3027.

⁴ You will fall on the mountains of Israel, you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you. I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort and to the animals of the field to be devoured.

KJVThou shalt fall^H5307^(H8799) upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, thou, and all thy bands^H102, and the people^H5971 that is with thee: I will give^H5414^(H8804) thee unto the ravenous^H5861 birds^H6833 of every sort^H3671, and to the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 to be devoured^H402.

⁵ You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVThou shalt fall^H5307^(H8799) upon the open^H6440 field^H7704: for I have spoken^H1696^(H8765) it, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

⁶ “I will send a fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

KJVAnd I will send^H7971^(H8765) a fire^H784 on Magog^H4031, and among them that dwell^H3427^(H8802) carelessly^H983 in the isles^H339: and they shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.

⁷ “‘“I will make my holy name known among my people Israel. I won’t allow my holy name to be profaned any more. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.

KJVSo will I make my holy^H6944 name^H8034 known^H3045^(H8686) in the midst^H8432 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478; and I will not let them pollute^H2490^(H8686) my holy^H6944 name^H8034 any more: and the heathen^H1471 shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068, the Holy One^H6918 in Israel^H3478.

⁸ Behold, it comes, and it will be done,” says the Lord Yahweh. “This is the day about which I have spoken.

KJVBehold, it is come^H935^(H8804), and it is done^H1961^(H8738), saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; this is the day^H3117 whereof I have spoken^H1696^(H8765).

⁹ “‘“Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and will make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs and the spears, and they will make fires with them for seven years;

KJVAnd they that dwell^H3427^(H8802) in the cities^H5892 of Israel^H3478 shall go forth^H3318^(H8804), and shall set^H1197^(H8765) on fire^H784 and burn^H5400^(H8689) the weapons^H5402, both the shields^H4043 and the bucklers^H6793, the bows^H7198 and the arrows^H2671, and the handstaves^H3027^H4731, and the spears^H7420, and they shall burn^H1197^(H8765) them with fire^H784 seven^H7651 years^H8141:

¹⁰ so that they will take no wood out of the field, and not cut down any out of the forests; for they will make fires with the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVSo that they shall take^H5375^(H8799) no wood^H6086 out of the field^H7704, neither cut down^H2404^(H8799) any out of the forests^H3293; for they shall burn^H1197^(H8762) the weapons^H5402 with fire^H784: and they shall spoil^H7997^(H8804) those that spoiled^H7997^(H8802) them, and rob^H962^(H8804) those that robbed^H962^(H8802) them, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹¹ “‘“It will happen in that day, that I will give to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass through on the east of the sea; and it will stop those who pass through. They will bury Gog and all his multitude there, and they will call it ‘The valley of Hamon Gog’.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass in that day^H3117, that I will give^H5414^(H8799) unto Gog^H1463 a place^H4725 there of graves^H6913 in Israel^H3478, the valley^H1516 of the passengers^H5674^(H8802) on the east^H6926 of the sea^H3220: and it shall stop^H2629^(H8802) the noses of the passengers^H5674^(H8802): and there shall they bury^H6912^(H8804) Gog^H1463 and all his multitude^H1995: and they shall call^H7121^(H8804) it The valley^H1516 of Hamongog^H1996.

¹² “‘“The house of Israel will be burying them for seven months, that they may cleanse the land.

KJVAnd seven^H7651 months^H2320 shall the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 be burying^H6912^(H8804) of them, that they may cleanse^H2891^(H8763) the land^H776.

¹³ Yes, all the people of the land will bury them; and they will become famous in the day that I will be glorified,” says the Lord Yahweh.

KJVYea, all the people^H5971 of the land^H776 shall bury^H6912^(H8804) them; and it shall be to them a renown^H8034 the day^H3117 that I shall be glorified^H3513^(H8736), saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁴ “‘“They will set apart men of continual employment who will pass through the land. Those who pass through will go with those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse it. After the end of seven months they will search.

KJVAnd they shall sever out^H914^(H8686) men^H582 of continual employment^H8548, passing through^H5674^(H8802) the land^H776 to bury^H6912^(H8764) with the passengers^H5674^(H8802) those that remain^H3498^(H8737) upon the face^H6440 of the earth^H776, to cleanse^H2891^(H8763) it: after the end^H7097 of seven^H7651 months^H2320 shall they search^H2713^(H8799).

¹⁵ Those who search through the land will pass through; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, then he will set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog.

KJVAnd the passengers^H5674^(H8802) that pass through^H5674^(H8804) the land^H776, when any seeth^H7200^(H8804) a man's^H120 bone^H6106, then shall he set up^H1129^(H8804) a sign^H6725 by^H681 it, till the buriers^H6912^(H8764) have buried^H6912^(H8804) it in the valley^H1516 of Hamongog^H1996.

¹⁶ Hamonah will also be the name of a city. Thus they will cleanse the land.”’

KJVAnd also the name^H8034 of the city^H5892 shall be Hamonah^H1997. Thus shall they cleanse^H2891^(H8765) the land^H776.

¹⁷ “You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every animal of the field, “Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat meat and drink blood.

KJVAnd, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Speak^H559^(H8798) unto every feathered^H3671 fowl^H6833, and to every beast^H2416 of the field^H7704, Assemble^H6908^(H8734) yourselves, and come^H935^(H8798); gather^H622^(H8734) yourselves on every side^H5439 to my sacrifice^H2077 that I do sacrifice^H2076^(H8802) for you, even a great^H1419 sacrifice^H2077 upon the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, that ye may eat^H398^(H8804) flesh^H1320, and drink^H8354^(H8804) blood^H1818.

¹⁸ You 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 bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

KJVYe shall eat^H398^(H8799) the flesh^H1320 of the mighty^H1368, and drink^H8354^(H8799) the blood^H1818 of the princes^H5387 of the earth^H776, of rams^H352, of lambs^H3733, and of goats^H6260, of bullocks^H6499, all of them fatlings^H4806 of Bashan^H1316.

¹⁹ You shall eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

KJVAnd ye shall eat^H398^(H8804) fat^H2459 till ye be full^H7654, and drink^H8354^(H8804) blood^H1818 till ye be drunken^H7943, of my sacrifice^H2077 which I have sacrificed^H2076^(H8804) for you.

²⁰ You shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men, and with all men of war,” says the Lord Yahweh.’

KJVThus ye shall be filled^H7646^(H8804) at my table^H7979 with horses^H5483 and chariots^H7393, with mighty men^H1368, and with all men^H376 of war^H4421, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

²¹ “I will set my glory among the nations. Then all the nations will see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

KJVAnd I will set^H5414^(H8804) my glory^H3519 among the heathen^H1471, and all the heathen^H1471 shall see^H7200^(H8804) my judgment^H4941 that I have executed^H6213^(H8804), and my hand^H3027 that I have laid^H7760^(H8804) upon them.

²² So the house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God, from that day and forward.

KJVSo the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068 their God^H430 from that day^H3117 and forward^H1973.

²³ The nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they trespassed against me, and I hid my face from them; so I gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword.

KJVAnd the heathen^H1471 shall know^H3045^(H8804) that the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478 went into captivity^H1540^(H8804) for their iniquity^H5771: because they trespassed^H4603^(H8804) against me, therefore hid^H5641^(H8686) I my face^H6440 from them, and gave^H5414^(H8799) them into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H6862: so fell^H5307^(H8799) they all by the sword^H2719.

²⁴ I did to them according to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions. I hid my face from them.

KJVAccording to their uncleanness^H2932 and according to their transgressions^H6588 have I done^H6213^(H8804) unto them, and hid^H5641^(H8686) my face^H6440 from them.

²⁵ “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Now I will reverse the captivity of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel. I will be jealous for my holy name.

KJVTherefore thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Now will I bring again^H7725^(H8686) the captivity^H7622^(H8675)^H7622 of Jacob^H3290, and have mercy^H7355^(H8765) upon the whole house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, and will be jealous^H7065^(H8765) for my holy^H6944 name^H8034;

²⁶ They will forget their shame and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they dwell securely in their land. No one will make them afraid

KJVAfter that they have borne^H5375^(H8804) their shame^H3639, and all their trespasses^H4604 whereby they have trespassed^H4603^(H8804) against me, when they dwelt^H3427^(H8800) safely^H983 in their land^H127, and none made them afraid^H2729^(H8688).

²⁷ when I have brought them back from the peoples, gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am shown holy among them in the sight of many nations.

KJVWhen I have brought them again^H7725^(H8788) from the people^H5971, and gathered^H6908^(H8765) them out of their enemies^H341^(H8802)' lands^H776, and am sanctified^H6942^(H8738) in them in the sight^H5869 of many^H7227 nations^H1471;

²⁸ They will know that I am Yahweh their God, in that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have gathered them to their own land. Then I will leave none of them captive any more.

KJVThen shall they know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068 their God^H430, which caused them to be led into captivity^H1540^(H8687) among the heathen^H1471: but I have gathered^H3664^(H8765) them unto their own land^H127, and have left^H3498^(H8686) none of them any more there.

²⁹ I won’t hide my face from them any more, for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”

KJVNeither will I hide^H5641^(H8686) my face^H6440 any more from them: for I have poured out^H8210^(H8804) my spirit^H7307 upon the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

KJVAnd the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559^(H8800),

² “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

KJVGomer^H1586, and all his bands^H102; the house^H1004 of Togarmah^H8425 of the north^H6828 quarters^H3411, and all his bands^H102: and many^H7227 people^H5971 with thee.

⁸ After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.

KJVAfter many^H7227 days^H3117 thou shalt be visited^H6485^(H8735): in the latter^H319 years^H8141 thou shalt come^H935^(H8799) into the land^H776 that is brought back^H7725^(H8796) from the sword^H2719, and is gathered^H6908^(H8794) out of many^H7227 people^H5971, against the mountains^H2022 of Israel^H3478, which have been always^H8548 waste^H2723: but it is brought forth^H3318^(H8717) out of the nations^H5971, and they shall dwell^H3427^(H8804) safely^H983 all of them.

KJVSheba^H7614, and Dedan^H1719, and the merchants^H5503^(H8802) of Tarshish^H8659, with all the young lions^H3715 thereof, shall say^H559^(H8799) unto thee, Art thou come^H935^(H8802) to take^H7997^(H8800) a spoil^H7998? hast thou gathered^H6950^(H8689) thy company^H6951 to take^H962^(H8800) a prey^H957? to carry away^H5375^(H8800) silver^H3701 and gold^H2091, to take away^H3947^(H8800) cattle^H4735 and goods^H7075, to take^H7997^(H8800) a great^H1419 spoil^H7998?

¹⁴ “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “In that day when my people Israel dwells securely, will you not know it?

KJVTherefore, son^H1121 of man^H120, prophesy^H5012^(H8734) and say^H559^(H8804) unto Gog^H1463, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; In that day^H3117 when my people^H5971 of Israel^H3478 dwelleth^H3427^(H8800) safely^H983, shalt thou not know^H3045^(H8799) it?

¹⁵ You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.

¹⁶ You will come up against my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me when I am sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes.”

KJVAnd thou shalt come up^H5927^(H8804) against my people^H5971 of Israel^H3478, as a cloud^H6051 to cover^H3680^(H8763) the land^H776; it shall be in the latter^H319 days^H3117, and I will bring^H935^(H8689) thee against my land^H776, that the heathen^H1471 may know^H3045^(H8800) me, when I shall be sanctified^H6942^(H8736) in thee, O Gog^H1463, before their eyes^H5869.

¹⁷ “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?

¹⁸ It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass at the same time^H3117 when^H3117 Gog^H1463 shall come^H935^(H8800) against the land^H127 of Israel^H3478, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069, that my fury^H2534 shall come up^H5927^(H8799) in my face^H639.

¹⁹ For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in the land of Israel,

KJVFor in my jealousy^H7068 and in the fire^H784 of my wrath^H5678 have I spoken^H1696^(H8765), Surely in that day^H3117 there shall be a great^H1419 shaking^H7494 in the land^H127 of Israel^H3478;

²⁰ so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.

KJVSo that the fishes^H1709 of the sea^H3220, and the fowls^H5775 of the heaven^H8064, and the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704, and all creeping things^H7431 that creep^H7430^(H8802) upon the earth^H127, and all the men^H120 that are upon the face^H6440 of the earth^H127, shall shake^H7493^(H8804) at my presence^H6440, and the mountains^H2022 shall be thrown down^H2040^(H8738), and the steep places^H4095 shall fall^H5307^(H8804), and every wall^H2346 shall fall^H5307^(H8799) to the ground^H776.

²¹ I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord Yahweh. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.

KJVAnd I will call^H7121^(H8804) for a sword^H2719 against him throughout all my mountains^H2022, saith^H5002^(H8803) the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069: every man's^H376 sword^H2719 shall be against his brother^H251.

²² I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.

KJVAnd I will plead^H8199^(H8738) against him with pestilence^H1698 and with blood^H1818; and I will rain^H4305^(H8686) upon him, and upon his bands^H102, and upon the many^H7227 people^H5971 that are with him, an overflowing^H7857^(H8802) rain^H1653, and great hailstones^H417^H68, fire^H784, and brimstone^H1614.

²³ I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”’

KJVThus will I magnify^H1431^(H8694) myself, and sanctify^H6942^(H8694) myself; and I will be known^H3045^(H8738) in the eyes^H5869 of many^H7227 nations^H1471, and they shall know^H3045^(H8804) that I am the LORD^H3068.
