39 “Now, humanity’s child, prophesy against Gog and say that the master Yahweh says this: Listen, I’m against you, Gog, leader of Meshek and Tuval. 2 I’ll turn you around and drag you along—I’ll bring you from the far north and take you up to Yisrael’s mountains, 3 Then I’ll knock your bow out of your left hand and make the arrows fall out of your right hand. 4 You and all your troops and soldiers who are with you will die on Yisrael’s mountains. I’ll give you to the birds of prey and the wild animals in the countryside for food. 5 You’ll die there in the countryside, because I myself declare it. That’s the master Yahweh’s declaration. 6 Then I’ll send fire out onto Magog and on those living in safety in the coastal regions, and then they’ll know that I am Yahweh. 7 I’ll make my holy name known among my people Yisrael, and I’ll no longer allow my holy name to be profaned—the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the holy One in Yisrael.

8 Listen, the day is coming, and all that will take place. That’s the master Yahweh’s declaration. 9 The people living in Yisrael’s cities will go out and they’ll use those weapons to kindle and make fires and burn them—small shields, large shields, bows, arrows, the clubs and spears—they’ll make fires with them for seven years. 10 They won’t need to gather firewood from the countryside or cut down trees from the forests, since they’ll burn the weapons. They’ll take from those invaders who wanted to take from them, and plunder those who wanted to plunder them. That’s the master Yahweh’s declaration.”
