1. You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, saying: Thus says the Lord God: Here I am, Gog, coming at you, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
2. I will turn you around, even though I urged you on and brought you up from the recesses of Zaphon and let you attack the mountains of Israel.
3. Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and make the arrows drop from your right.
4. Upon the mountains of Israel you shall fall, you and all your troops and the peoples with you. I will give you as food to birds of prey of every kind and to wild beasts to be eaten.
5. In the open field you shall fall, for I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God.
6. I will send fire against Magog and against those who live securely on the seacoast, and they will know that I am the Lord.
7. I will reveal my holy name among my people Israel, and I will never again allow my holy name to be defiled. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
8. Yes, it is coming! It shall happen—oracle of the Lord God. This is the day I decreed.
9. Everyone living in the cities of Israel shall go out and set fire to the weapons, buckler and shield, bows and arrows, clubs and spears; for seven years they shall make fires with them.
10. They will not need to bring in wood from the fields or cut down trees in the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons, plundering those who plundered them, pillaging those who pillaged them—oracle of the Lord God.
11. On that day I will give Gog a place for his tomb in Israel, the Valley of Abarim, east of the sea. It will block the way of travelers. There Gog shall be buried with all his horde; it shall be called “Valley of Hamon-Gog.”
12. For seven months the house of Israel shall bury them in order to cleanse the land.
13. All the people of the land shall take part in the burials, making a name for themselves on the day I am glorified—oracle of the Lord God.
14. Men shall be permanently assigned to pass through the land, burying those who lie unburied in order to cleanse the land. For seven months they shall keep searching.
