Ezekiel 39:10-16 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

10. They will not have to gather firewood in the fields or cut down trees in the forest, because they will have the abandoned weapons to burn. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.

11. The Lord said, “When all this happens, I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, in Travellers' Valley, east of the Dead Sea. Gog and all his army will be buried there, and the valley will be called ‘The Valley of Gog's Army’.

12. It will take the Israelites seven months to bury all the corpses and make the land clean again.

13. Everyone in the land will help to bury them, and they will be honoured for this on the day of my victory. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken.

14. After the seven months are over, men will be chosen to travel through the land in order to find and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, so that they can make the land clean.

15. As they go up and down the country, every time they find a human bone, they will put a marker beside it so that the grave diggers can come and bury it in the Valley of Gog's Army.

16. (There will be a town near by named after the army.) And so the land will be made clean again.”
