Ezekiel 39:4-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. You, all your troops, and the peoples who are with you will fall on the mountains of Israel. I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and to the wild animals.

5. You will fall on the open field, for I have spoken.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

6. “I will send fire against Magog and those who live securely on the coasts and islands. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.

7. So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.

8. Yes, it is coming, and it will happen.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “This is the day I have spoken about.

9. “Then the inhabitants of Israel’s cities will go out, kindle fires, and burn the weapons — the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them to make fires.

10. They will not gather wood from the countryside or cut it down from the forests, for they will use the weapons to make fires. They will take the loot from those who looted them and plunder those who plundered them.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

11. “Now on that day I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel — the Valley of the Travelers east of the Sea. It will block those who travel through, for Gog and all his hordes will be buried there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog.

12. The house of Israel will spend seven months burying them in order to cleanse the land.

13. All the people of the land will bury them and their fame will spread on the day I display My glory.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

14. “They will appoint men on a full-time basis to pass through the land and bury the invaders who remain on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. They will make their search at the end of the seven months.
