Ezekiel 39:8-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. The day I will judge you is coming. You can be sure of it," announces the Lord and King. "It is the day I have spoken about.

9. " ' "At that time those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and light a fire. They will use it to burn up the weapons. That includes small and large shields. It also includes bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. It will take seven years to burn all of them up.

10. People will not gather wood from the fields. They will not cut the forests down. Instead, they will burn the weapons. And they will rob those who robbed them. They will steal from those who stole from them," announces the Lord and King.

11. " ' "Gog, at that time I will bury you in a grave in Israel. It will be in the valley where people travel east of the Dead Sea. It will block the path of travelers. That is because you and your huge armies will be buried there. So it will be called The Valley of Gog's Armies.

12. " ' "It will take seven months for the people of Israel to bury the bodies. They will do it to make the land 'clean' again.
