New Living Translation

Ezekiel 39:14-21 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. “After seven months, teams of men will be appointed to search the land for skeletons to bury, so the land will be made clean again.

15. Whenever bones are found, a marker will be set up so the burial crews will take them to be buried in the Valley of Gog’s Hordes.

16. (There will be a town there named Hamonah, which means ‘horde.’) And so the land will finally be cleansed.

17. “And now, son of man, this is what the Sovereign lord says: Call all the birds and wild animals. Say to them: Gather together for my great sacrificial feast. Come from far and near to the mountains of Israel, and there eat flesh and drink blood!

18. Eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of princes as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all fattened animals from Bashan!

19. Gorge yourselves with flesh until you are glutted; drink blood until you are drunk. This is the sacrificial feast I have prepared for you.

20. Feast at my banquet table—feast on horses and charioteers, on mighty men and all kinds of valiant warriors, says the Sovereign lord.

21. “In this way, I will demonstrate my glory to the nations. Everyone will see the punishment I have inflicted on them and the power of my fist when I strike.
