Ezekiel 39

Funda

   

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.

That the Lord Jehovih would pour out His anger against them to consume them (Ezekiel 20:8-13).

That Jehovah will execute great vengeance, and take vengeance in wrath (Ezekiel 25:12, 14-15, 17).

I will make thee a desolate city, and I will cause thee to go down into the pit, to the people of old time, and cause thee to dwell in the land of the lower places, in the desolation of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou mayest not dwell; then will I set glory in the land of the living (Ezekiel 26:19-20) Concerning Tyre.

The day of its fall (Ezekiel 26:18). Concerning Tyre.

Howl ye, alas the day! for the day is near, the day of Jehovah is near, a day of cloud (Ezekiel 30:2-3). Concerning Egypt.

In the day when Pharaoh shall go down into hell, I will cover the deep upon him; when I shall cause him to go down into hell with them that go down into the pit, and into the lower earth (Ezekiel 31:15-18; 32:18, 27, 29).

Hell in this place is called a grave where they lie (32:22-23, 25-26), and a pit.

That they will cause terror in the land of the living (Ezekiel 32:24-25).

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter years thou shalt come upon the land (Ezekiel 38:8, 16). In that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel (Ezekiel 38:19).

Ezekiel 32

Funda

   

1 It happened in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, You were likened to a young lion of the nations: yet you are as a monster in the seas; and you did break forth with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.

3 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples; and they shall bring you up in my net.

4 I will leave you on the land, I will cast you forth on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you, and I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you.

5 I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.

6 I will also water with your blood the land in which you swim, even to the mountains; and the watercourses shall be full of you.

7 When I shall extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

8 All the bright lights of the sky will I make dark over you, and set darkness on your land, says the Lord Yahweh.

9 I will also trouble the hearts of many peoples, when I shall bring your destruction among the nations, into the countries which you have not known.

10 Yes, I will make many peoples amazed at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

11 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come on you.

12 By the swords of the mighty will I cause your multitude to fall; the terrible of the nations are they all: and they shall bring to nothing the pride of Egypt, and all its multitude shall be destroyed.

13 I will destroy also all its animals from beside many waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of animals trouble them.

14 Then will I make their waters clear, and cause their rivers to run like oil, says the Lord Yahweh.

15 When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and waste, a land destitute of that of which it was full, when I shall strike all those who dwell therein, then shall they know that I am Yahweh.

16 This is the lamentation with which they shall lament; the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith; over Egypt, and over all her multitude, shall they lament therewith, says the Lord Yahweh.

17 It happened also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth [day] of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18 Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, to the lower parts of the earth, with those who go down into the pit.

19 Whom do you pass in beauty? Go down, and be laid with the uncircumcised.

20 They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword; draw her away and all her multitudes.

21 The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of Sheol with those who help him: they are gone down, they lie still, even the uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

22 Asshur is there and all her company; her graves are all around her; all of them slain, fallen by the sword;

23 whose graves are set in the uttermost parts of the pit, and her company is around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

24 There is Elam and all her multitude around her grave; all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit.

25 They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude; her graves are around her; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for their terror was caused in the land of the living, and they have borne their shame with those who go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of those who are slain.

26 There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude; their graves are around them; all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; for they caused their terror in the land of the living.

27 They shall not lie with the mighty who are fallen of the uncircumcised, who are gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war, and have laid their swords under their heads, and their iniquities are on their bones; for [they were] the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.

28 But you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shall lie with those who are slain by the sword.

29 There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who in their might are laid with those who are slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the pit.

30 There are the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who are gone down with the slain; in the terror which they caused by their might they are put to shame; and they lie uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the pit.

31 Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, says the Lord Yahweh.

32 For I have put his terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those who are slain by the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord Yahweh.
