3. I will knock your bow out of your left hand. I will throw down your arrows from your right hand.

4. You will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. You, all your troops and the nations with you will fall dead. I will let you be food for every bird that eats meat and every wild animal.

5. You will die in the country. I have spoken, says the Lord God.

6. I will send fire on Magog and those who live in safety on the coastlands. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

7. “‘And I will make myself known among my people Israel. I will not let myself be dishonored anymore. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord. They will know I am the Holy One in Israel.

8. It is coming! It will happen, says the Lord God. The day I talked about is coming.

9. “‘Then those who live in the cities of Israel will go out. They will make fires with the enemy’s weapons and burn them. They will burn both large and small shields. They will burn bows and arrows, war clubs and spears. They will use the weapons to burn in their fires for seven years.
