[39:1] The Sovereign Lord said, “Mortal man, denounce Gog, the chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal, and tell him that I am his enemy.
[39:2] I will turn him in a new direction and lead him out of the far north until he comes to the mountains of Israel.
[39:3] Then I will knock his bow out of his left hand and his arrows out of his right hand.
[39:4] Gog and his army and his allies will fall dead on the mountains of Israel, and I will let their bodies be food for all the birds and wild animals.
[39:5] They will fall dead in the open field. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken.
[39:6] I will start a fire in the land of Magog and along all the seacoasts where people live undisturbed, and everyone will know that I am the Lord.
[39:7] I will make sure that my people Israel know my holy name, and I will not let my name be disgraced any more. Then the nations will know that I, the Lord, am the holy God of Israel.”
[39:8] The Sovereign Lord said, “The day I spoke about is certain to come.
[39:9] The people who live in the cities of Israel will go out and collect the abandoned weapons for firewood. They will build fires with the shields, bows, arrows, spears, and clubs, and have enough to last for seven years.
[39:10] They will not have to gather firewood in the fields or cut down trees in the forest, because they will have the abandoned weapons to burn. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them.” The Sovereign Lord has spoken.
