7. I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. They will never again degrade my holy name, and the nations will know that I, the Lord, am holy in Israel.
8. Look, it has come! It has happened! This is what the Lord God says. This is the day that I spoke about.
9. Those who live in Israel’s cities will go out and kindle a fire with the weapons—shield and buckler, bow and arrow, spear and lance. They will burn them with fire for seven years.
10. They won’t gather wood from the field or chop down trees from the forest, because they will be able to keep the fire burning with the weapons. So they will take plunder and seize loot. This is what the Lord says.
11. On that day, I will assign Gog a place for burial in Israel in the Travelers’ Valley east of the sea. It will block the travelers’ way, because Gog and all of his horde will be buried there. It will be called Hamon-gog Valley.
12. For seven months, the house of Israel will bury them in order to cleanse the land.
13. All the people of the land will take part in the burial, so they will make a name for themselves on the day that I glorify myself. This is what the Lord God says.
14. They will appoint people who will continually cross through the land and bury the human remains that are left on the surface of the ground in order to purify it. They will begin their search at the end of seven months.
15. As the travelers cross through the land, when they see a human bone, they will set up a marker next to it until the gravediggers bury it in Hamon-gog Valley
16. (the name of the city is Hamonah). So they will purify the land.
17. And you, human one, the Lord God proclaims: Say to the birds of prey, to every kind of bird and every wild animal: Assemble and come! Come together from all around for the sacrifice that I make for you, a great sacrifice on Israel’s mountains! You will eat flesh and drink blood.
18. You will eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth: rams, lambs, goats, bulls, all fattened animals from Bashan.
19. Gorge yourselves on their fat, and get drunk on their blood, from the sacrifice that I have made for you.
20. Satisfy yourselves at my table with horses and riders, mighty men and every warrior. This is what the Lord God says!
21. When I glorify myself among the nations, all the nations will understand the judgments that I executed and the power that I used among them.
22. And the house of Israel will know that I, the Lord, am their God, from that day on.
23. The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile because of their guilt. Because they rebelled against me, I hid my face from them. When I handed them over to their enemies, all of them fell by the sword.
