¹ And thou^◦, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovih^*; Behold, I am against^▵ thee, O Gog, the chief, the head of Meshech and Tubal:

² and I will turn· thee ·back, and divide thee in six, and will cause thee to come·​·up from the flanks of the north, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel;

³ and I will smite thy bow out·​·of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out·​·of thy right hand.

⁴ Thou shalt fall on the mountains of Israel, thou^◦, and all thy bands, and the peoples that are with^◦ thee; I will give thee to the raptor, to the bird of every wing, and to the animals of the field for food.

⁵ Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field; for^◦ I^◦ have spoken it, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

⁶ And I will send a fire into Magog, and into those who dwell· securely ·in the islands; and they shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah.

⁷ And I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let them profane My holy name any·​·more; and the nations shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah, the holy·​·One in Israel.

⁸ Behold, it is come, and it is come·​·to·​·pass^◦, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih; it^◦ is the day of which I have spoken.

⁹ And they who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go·​·out, and burn and kindle^◦ the arsenal, and the shield and the buckler, the bow and the arrows, and the sticks for the hand, and the lance, and they shall burn them with fire seven years;

¹⁰ and they shall not carry wood from the field, neither hew any from the forests; for^◦ they shall burn the arsenal with fire; and they shall spoil those who spoiled them, and plunder those who plundered them, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

¹¹ And it shall be in that^◦ day, that I will give to Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the ravine of those who cross toward·​·the·​·east of the sea, and it shall muzzle them who cross; and there shall they bury Gog and all his crowd, and they shall call it The Ravine of the·​·Crowd·​·of·​·Gog.

¹² And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, so·​·that they may cleanse the land.

¹³ And all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be for them for a name of the day that I shall be glorified, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

¹⁴ And they shall distinguish the men^◦ continually passing·​·through in the land, from those burying the passing·​·by, those who remain on the face of the earth to cleanse it; from the end of seven months shall they search· them ·out.

¹⁵ And when they who pass·​·through pass·​·through the land, and one sees the bone of man, and shall build a marker^◦ beside it, until the buriers have buried it in^▵ the Ravine of the·​·Crowd·​·of·​·Gog.

¹⁶ And also the name of the city shall be The Crowd. And they shall cleanse the land.

¹⁷ And, thou^◦ son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovih; Say unto every winged bird, and to every animal of the field, Bring· yourselves ·together, and come; gather yourselves all around to My sacrifice that I^◦ do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, and you will eat flesh, and drink blood.

¹⁸ You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the chiefs of the earth, of rams, of lambs^▫, and of he-goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

¹⁹ And you shall eat fat until you be satisfied, and drink blood until you have drunk·​·largely,^* of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

²⁰ And you shall be satisfied at My table with horse and chariot, with heroes, and with all men^◦ of war, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

²¹ And I will put^◦ My glory among^◦ the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgment that I have made, and My hand that I have set upon^◦ them.

²² And the house of Israel shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah their God from that^◦ day and beyond.

²³ And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were exiled in their iniquity; because they trespassed against^◦ Me; and I hid My face from them^◦, and gave them into the hand of their adversaries: and all of them fell by the sword.

²⁴ According·​·to their uncleanness and according·​·to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid My face from them^◦.

²⁵ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovih; Now will I return the captivity of Jacob, and have·​·compassion upon all the house of Israel, and will be·​·jealous for My holy name;

²⁶ and they have borne their humiliation, and all their trespasses by which they have trespassed against^◦ Me, when they dwelt securely on their ground, and none frightened them.

²⁷ When I have returned them from the people, and brought· them ·together out of the lands of their enemies, and am sanctified in them in the eyes of many nations;

²⁸ and they shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah their God, who caused them to be exiled to^▵ the nations; but I have gathered· them ·together on their own ground, and I have not caused any of them^◦ to remain any·​·more there^*.

²⁹ And I will not hide My face any·​·more from them^◦; that I have spilled·​·out My spirit on the house of Israel, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih.

¹ For Jehovah will have·​·compassion on Jacob, and will still choose Israel; and He will place them on their own ground; and the sojourner shall be joined to them, and they shall be attached to the house of Jacob.

² And the peoples shall take them, and bring them into^▵ their own place; and the house of Israel shall inherit them on the ground of Jehovah, for servants, and for handmaids, and they shall be captives to their captives; and they shall have·​·dominion over^◦ their taskmasters.

³ And it shall be in the day that Jehovah has given thee rest, from the grieving, and from trembling, and from the hard service which thou wast compelled^* to serve,

⁴ that thou shalt lift·​·up this proverb upon the king of Babylon, and shalt say, How^◦ the taskmaster has ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!

⁵ Jehovah has broken the rod of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.

⁶ He smites the peoples in wrath, with a smiting without remission^◦*; He has·​·dominion over the nations in anger, persecuting without^◦ keeping·​·back.

⁷ All the earth is at rest, it is quiet; they burst·​·forth into singing·​·aloud.

⁸ Even the fir·​·trees are·​·glad for thee, the cedars of Lebanon, saying, From when thou hast lain·​·down, he who cuts·​·off has not come·​·up against us.

⁹ Hell from beneath trembles for thee to meet thee when thou comest; he stirs·​·up for thee the Rephaim, all the powerful·​·ones^* of the earth; he raises·​·up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

¹⁰ All of them shall answer and shall say unto^▵ thee, Hast thou, even thou^◦, become·​·weak as we? Hast thou become·​·similar unto^▵ us?

¹¹ Thine excellency is brought·​·down into hell, the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is·​·matted under thee, and the worm^◦ is thy covering.

¹² How art thou fallen from the heavens, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! Thou art hewn·​·down to the earth, thou art overcome under the nations!

¹³ For thou didst say in thy heart, I will ascend the heavens; above the stars of God^◦ I will exalt my throne; and I will sit upon the mountain of the congregation^◦, on the flanks of the north;

¹⁴ I will ascend above the high·​·places of the thick·​·clouds; I will be·​·like the Most·​·high.

¹⁵ Surely thou shalt be brought·​·down to^▵ hell, to^▵ the flanks of the pit.

¹⁶ Those who see thee shall look·​·attentively at thee; they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man^◦ who made· the earth ·tremble, who made· kingdoms ·quake;

¹⁷ who made^▫ the world like a wilderness, and broke·​·down the cities thereof; who opened not their prison^* house to his bound ones?

¹⁸ All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, each·​·man^◦ in his own house;

¹⁹ but thou^◦ art cast out of the grave, like an abominable stem, like the clothing of those who are killed, thrust·​·through^◦ with the sword; like them that go·​·down to the stones of the pit, as a corpse trodden·​·down.

²⁰ Thou shalt not be united with^◦ them in the grave, for thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast killed thy people; the seed of evildoers shall not be proclaimed to eternity.

²¹ Prepare ye butchering for his sons, for the iniquity of their fathers, that^* they may not^▵ rise·​·up and possess the land, and fill the face of the world with cities.

²² And I will rise·​·up against them, says^◦ Jehovah of Armies; and I will cut·​·off from Babylon the name and what·​·is·​·left; and the son^▵, and the grandson, says^◦ Jehovah.

²³ And I will set her for a possession of the osprey, and ponds of water; and I will brush· her ·away with the brush of blotting·​·out, says^◦ Jehovah of Armies.

²⁴ Jehovah of Armies has promised, saying, Surely as^◦ I have considered, so shall it be; and as^◦ I have counseled, it^◦ shall arise;

²⁵ to break Assyria in My land, and to tread· him ·down on My mountains; and his yoke shall be removed from on them, and his burden^◦ shall be removed from on his shoulder.

²⁶ This is the counsel, counseled on all the earth; and this the hand which is stretched out on all the nations.

²⁷ For Jehovah of Armies has counseled, and who shall make· it ·of·​·none·​·effect? And His hand is stretched·​·out, and who shall turn· it ·back?

²⁸ In the year Ahaz the king died was this burden.

²⁹ Be· not ·glad, Philistia, every one of thee, that the scepter of him who smites thee is broken; for from the root of the serpent shall come·​·forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying saraph^*.

³⁰ And the firstborn of the poor shall pasture, and the needy shall lie·​·down^◦ securely; but I will cause thy root to die with famine; and what·​·is·​·left of you he will kill.

³¹ Howl, O gate! Cry out, O city! O Philistia, all of thee is dissolved; for from the north comes smoke; and none shall be·​·alone in his congregations.

³² And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and that in her shall the afflicted of His people have·​·confidence.
