Ezekiel 39:12-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

12. For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.

13. Yes, all the people of the land will bury them, and it shall bring them renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord God.

14. And they shall set apart men to work continually who shall pass through the land, men commissioned to bury, with the help of those who are passing by, those bodies that lie unburied on the face of the ground, in order to cleanse the land. After the end of seven months they shall make their search.

15. And when these pass through the land and anyone sees a human bone, he shall set up a marker by it as a sign to the buriers, until they have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog or of Gog's multitude.

16. And Hamonah [multitude] shall also be the name of the city [of the dead]. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17. And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God: Say to the birds of prey of every sort and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves and come, gather from every side to the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, even a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel at which you may eat flesh and drink blood.

18. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, of goats, and of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan [east of the Jordan].

19. And you shall eat fat till you are filled and drink blood till you are drunk at the sacrificial feast which I am preparing for you.

20. And you shall be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty men, and with soldiers of every kind, says the Lord God.

21. And I will manifest My honor and glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see My judgment and justice [in the punishment] which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them.

22. So the house of Israel shall know, understand, and realize beyond all question that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.
