Ezekiel, starting at chapter 37
{37:1} The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the
Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it
was full of bones. {37:2} He caused me to pass by them all around: and
behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were
very dry. {37:3} He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I
answered, Lord Yahweh, you know. {37:4} Again he said to me, Prophesy
over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of
Yahweh. {37:5} Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I
will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. {37:6} I will
lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with
skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know
that I am Yahweh. {37:7} So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I
prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the
bones came together, bone to its bone. {37:8} I saw, and, behold,
there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them
above; but there was no breath in them. {37:9} Then said he to me,
Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus
says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on
these slain, that they may live. {37:10} So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood
up on their feet, an exceedingly great army. {37:11} Then he said to
me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold,
they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean
cut off. {37:12} Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord
Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out
of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of
Israel. {37:13} You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened
your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
{37:14} I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will
place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have
spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh. {37:15} The word of Yahweh
came again to me, saying, {37:16} You, son of man, take one stick, and
write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions:
then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of
Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel his companions: {37:17} and
join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become
one in your hand. {37:18} When the children of your people shall speak
to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these? {37:19}
tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the stick of
Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his
companions; and I will put them with it, [even] with the stick of
Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
{37:20} The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before
their eyes. {37:21} Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I
will take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they
are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into
their own land: {37:22} and I will make them one nation in the land,
on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all;
and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided
into two kingdoms any more at all; {37:23} neither shall they defile
themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable
things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them out
of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will
cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
{37:24} My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall
have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe
my statutes, and do them. {37:25} They shall dwell in the land that I
have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived; and they
shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's
children, forever: and David my servant shall be their prince for
ever. {37:26} Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it
shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will place them, and
multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them
forevermore. {37:27} My tent also shall be with them; and I will be
their God, and they shall be my people. {37:28} The nations shall know
that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in
the midst of them forevermore.
{38:1} The word of Yahweh came to me, saying, {38:2} Son of man, set
your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, {38:3} and say, Thus
says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal: {38:4} and I will turn you about, and put hooks
into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses
and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with
buckler and shield, all of them handling swords; {38:5} Persia, Cush,
and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; {38:6} Gomer,
and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of
the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with you. {38:7} Be
prepared, yes, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies who are
assembled to you, and be a guard to them. {38:8} After many days you
shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land
that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many
peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual
waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples, and they shall
dwell securely, all of them. {38:9} You shall ascend, you shall come
like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and
all your hordes, and many peoples with you. {38:10} Thus says the Lord
Yahweh: It shall happen in that day, that things shall come into your
mind, and you shall devise an evil device: {38:11} and you shall say,
I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who
are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls,
and having neither bars nor gates; {38:12} to take the spoil and to
take the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are
[now] inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the
nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle
of the earth. {38:13} Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish,
with all the young lions of it, shall tell you, Are you come to take
the spoil? have you assembled your company to take the prey? to carry
away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great
spoil? {38:14} Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, Thus
says the Lord Yahweh: In that day when my people Israel dwells
securely, shall you not know it? {38:15} You shall come from your
place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and many peoples
with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty
army; {38:16} and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a
cloud to cover the land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I
will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in you, Gog, before their eyes. {38:17} Thus says
the Lord Yahweh: Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants
the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for [many] years
that I would bring you against them? {38:18} It shall happen in that
day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord
Yahweh, that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils. {38:19} For in
my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that
day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; {38:20} so
that the fish of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of
the field, and all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the
men who are on the surface of the earth, shall shake at my presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall
fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. {38:21} I will call for
a sword against him to all my mountains, says the Lord Yahweh: every
man's sword shall be against his brother. {38:22} With pestilence and
with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on
him, and on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, an
overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and sulfur. {38:23} I
will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known
in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
{39:1} You, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus says the
Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against you, Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech,
and Tubal: {39:2} and I will turn you about, and will lead you on, and
will cause you to come up from the uttermost parts of the north; and I
will bring you on the mountains of Israel; {39:3} and I will strike
your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out
of your right hand. {39:4} You shall fall on the mountains of Israel,
you, and all your hordes, and the peoples who are with you: I will
give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the animals of
the field to be devoured. {39:5} You shall fall on the open field; for
I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh. {39:6} I will send a fire on
Magog, and on those who dwell securely in the islands; and they shall
know that I am Yahweh. {39:7} My holy name will I make known in the
midst of my people Israel; neither will I allow my holy name to be
profaned any more: and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, the
Holy One in Israel. {39:8} Behold, it comes, and it shall be done,
says the Lord Yahweh; this is the day about which I have spoken.
{39:9} Those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and
shall make fires of the weapons and burn them, both the shields and
the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs, and the
spears, and they shall make fires of them seven years; {39:10} so that
they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of
the forests; for they shall make fires of the weapons; and they shall
plunder those who plundered them, and rob those who robbed them, says
the Lord Yahweh. {39:11} It shall happen in that day, that I will give
to Gog a place for burial in Israel, the valley of those who pass
through on the east of the sea; and it shall stop those who pass
through: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude; and they
shall call it The valley of Hamon Gog. {39:12} Seven months shall the
house of Israel be burying them, that they may cleanse the land.
{39:13} Yes, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall
be to them a renown in the day that I shall be glorified, says the
Lord Yahweh. {39:14} They shall set apart men of continual employment,
who shall pass through the land, and, with those who pass through,
those who bury those who remain on the surface of the land, to cleanse
it: after the end of seven months shall they search. {39:15} Those who
pass through the land shall pass through; and when any sees a man's
bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, until the undertakers have
buried it in the valley of Hamon Gog. {39:16} Hamonah shall also be
the name of a city. Thus shall they cleanse the land. {39:17} You, son
of man, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Speak to the birds of every sort,
and to every animal of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come;
gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice
for you, even a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you
may eat flesh and drink blood. {39:18} You shall eat the flesh of the
mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of
lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan. {39:19}
You shall eat fat until you be full, and drink blood until you be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. {39:20} You
shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men,
and with all men of war, says the Lord Yahweh. {39:21} I will set my
glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment
that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. {39:22} So
the house of Israel shall know that I am Yahweh their God, from that
day and forward. {39:23} The nations shall know that the house of
Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they trespassed
against me, and I hid my face from them: so I gave them into the hand
of their adversaries, and they fell all of them by the sword. {39:24}
According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions
did I to them; and I hid my face from them. {39:25} Therefore thus
says the Lord Yahweh: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob,
and have mercy on the whole house of Israel; and I will be jealous for
my holy name. {39:26} They shall bear their shame, and all their
trespasses by which they have trespassed against me, when they shall
dwell securely in their land, and none shall make them afraid; {39:27}
when I have brought them back from the peoples, and gathered them out
of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of
many nations. {39:28} They shall know that I am Yahweh their God, in
that I caused them to go into captivity among the nations, and have
gathered them to their own land; and I will leave none of them any
more there; {39:29} neither will I hide my face any more from them;
for I have poured out my Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord
Yahweh.
