1. Ezekiel, son of man, condemn Gog and tell him:You are the ruler of Meshech and Tubal, but I, the Lord, am your enemy!
2. I will turn you around and drag you from the north until you reach the mountains of Israel.
3. I will knock the bow out of your left hand and the arrows out of your right hand,
4. and you and your army will die on those mountains. Then birds and wild animals will eat the flesh
5. of your dead bodies left lying in open fields. I, the Lord, have spoken.
6. I will set fire to the land of Magog and to those nations along the coast that think they are so secure, and they will know that I am the Lord.
7. My people Israel will know me, and they will no longer disgrace my holy name. Everyone on earth will know that I am the holy Lord God of Israel.
8. The day is coming when these things will happen, just as I have promised.
9. When that day comes, the people in the towns of Israel will collect the weapons of their dead enemies. They will use these shields, bows and arrows, spears, and clubs as firewood, and there will be enough to last for seven years.
10. They will burn these weapons instead of gathering sticks or chopping down trees. That's how the Israelites will take revenge on those who robbed and abused them. I, the Lord, have spoken.
