Ezekiel 39:11-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. “It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will obstruct travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore 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. Indeed all the people of the land will be burying, and they will gain renown for it on the day that I am glorified,” says the Lord God.

14. “They will set apart men regularly employed, with the help of a search party, to pass through the land and bury those bodies remaining on the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search.

15. The search party will pass through the land; and when anyone sees a man’s bone, he shall set up a marker by it, till the buriers have buried it in the Valley of Hamon Gog.

16. The name of the city will also be Hamonah. Thus they shall cleanse the land.” ’

21. “I will set My glory among the nations; all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.

22. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day forward.

23. The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24. According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.” ’
