Ezekiel 39:5-15 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. You will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken," declares the Lord God.

6. "And I will send fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the coastlands in safety; and they will know that I am the Lord.

7. "My holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel; and I will not let My holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8. Behold, it is coming and it shall be done," declares the Lord God. "That is the day of which I have spoken.

9. "Then those who inhabit the cities of Israel will go out and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both shields and bucklers, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them.

10. They will not take wood from the field or gather firewood from the forests, for they will make fires with the weapons; and they will take the spoil of those who despoiled them and seize the plunder of those who plundered them," declares the Lord God.

11. "On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea, and it will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with all his horde, and they will call it the valley of Hamon-gog.

12. For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.

13. Even all the people of the land will bury them; and it will be to their renown on the day that I glorify Myself," declares the Lord God.

14. "They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the land, burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

15. As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man's bone, then he will set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog.
