1. “You, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘Behold, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2. I will turn you around, drive you along, and lead you up from the extreme north. I will bring you upon the mountains of Israel.
3. Then I will strike your bow from your left hand and make your arrows drop from your right hand.
4. You will fall on the mountains of Israel—you, all your troops and the people that are with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of birds of prey and to the beasts of the field.
5. You will fall on an open field, for I have spoken.’” It is a declaration of Adonai.
6. “I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the islands. Then they will know that I am Adonai.
7. So I will make My holy Name known among My people Israel. I will not let My holy Name be profaned anymore. The nations will know that I am Adonai, the Holy One in Israel.
8. Behold, it is coming. It will be done”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“this is the day that I have spoken about.
9. “The inhabitants of Israel’s cities will go out and kindle fires with the weapons—shields and breastplates, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. They will make fires with them for seven years.
10. They will not take wood out of the field or cut anything from the forests, for they will make fire from the weapons. They will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
11. “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, since they will bury Gog and all his multitude there. Then they will call it the valley of Hamon-Gog.
12. The house of Israel will bury them for seven months, in order to cleanse the land.
