¶ The .xxxix. Chapter.
¶ He sheweth the destruccyon of Gog and Magog.
The graue of Gog and his hoste. He prophecieth
that Gog ∧ his company shalbe deuoured of byrdes
and beastes, wherfore þe; house of Israell is wasted.
Their bringinge agayne fr&obar; captiuitie is promysed.
A Therfore, O thou sonne of m&abar;, prophecie
agaynst Gog, and speake. Thus
sayeth the Lorde God: Beholde note O
Gog: thou chefe prince at Mesech and Tubal,
I wyll vpon the, and &rhand; punyshe the
with sixe plages, ∧ leade the from the north
partes, and bring the vp to the mountaines
of Israell. As for thy bowe, I will smyte it
out of thy left h&abar;de, and cast thyne arowes
out of thy ryght h&abar;de. Thou with all thine
heape, and all the people that is &wt; the, must
fall vpon the mountaynes of Israell. Then
will I geue the vnto foules and wilde beastes
of the felde, to be deuoured: there must
thou lye vpon the felde: for euen I the Lord
haue spoken it, sayeth the Lord God.
B Into Magog, and among those that syt
so carelesse in the Iles: will I send a fyre, ∧
they shal knowe, that I am the Lord, I wil
make also þe; name of my holinesse to be knowne
am&obar;g my people of Israel: and I will
not let my holy name be euel spoken of enymore:
but the very Heathen also shall knowe,
that I am the Lord, the holy one of Israel.
Beholde, it commeth, and shalbe fulfilled
&ibar; dede, sayeth the Lord God. This is the
daye wherof I haue spok&ebar;. They that dwel
in the cities of Israell, shall go forth and set
fyre vpon the weap&ebar;s, and burne them: shyldes
and speres, bowes and arowes, bylles ∧
clubbes: seu&ebar; yeares shal they be burnynge
therof, so that they shal els br&ibar;ge no stickes
fr&obar; þe; felde, nether haue nede to hewe downe
eny out of þe; wodde. For they shal haue weap&ebar;s
ynowe to burne.
C They shal robbe those
that robbed them, ∧ spoyle those that spoyled
them sayeth the Lord God. At the same
tyme wil I geue vnto God, a place to be
buried in Israel, eu&ebar; the valley, where thorow
men go from the east to the see warde.
Those þt; trauayle therby, shall stoppe ther
noses for stenche. There shall Gog ∧ all hys
people be buried: and it shalbe called the valley
of the people of God. Seuen monethes
longe shall the house of Israell be buryenge
of th&ebar; that they maye clense the lande. Yee,
all the people of the lande shall burie them.
O, it shall be a glorious daye, when I gett
me that honoure, saieth þe; Lord God. They
shal ordeyne m&ebar; also to be deed buriers, euer
goynge thorow the lande, ∧ appoynte them
certayne places to bury those in, which remayne
vpon the felde, þt; the lande maye be
clensed. From ende to ende shall they seke, ∧
that seu&ebar; monethes longe.
D Now those þt; go
thorow þe; lande, where they se a mans bone,
they shalt set vp a tok&ebar; by it, tyll þe; deed buryers
haue buried it also, in þe; valley of the
people of Gog. And þe; name of the citie shalbe
called, hamonah (þt; is a multitude.) Thus
shall they make the lande clene.
And thou sonne of man: thus sayeth the
-- --
Lord God. Speake vnto all the foules and
euery byrde, yee, and to al the wilde beastes
of the felde, heape you together and come,
gather you rounde aboute vpon my slaughter,
that I haue slayne for you: eu&ebar; a greate
slaughter vpon the mountaynes of Israell
eate flesh and drincke bloude. Ye shall note eate
the flesh of the worthies, ∧ drinke the bloud
of the princes of the lande: of the wethers,
of the lambes, of the goates, and of the oxen
þt; be all slayne at Basan. Eate the fat your
belyfull, and drincke bloude, tyll ye be dronken
of the slaughter, whych I haue slayne
vnto you. Fill you at my table with horses
and stronge horsmen: with captaynes and
men of warre, sayeth the Lord God.
F I will bringe my glory also amonge the
Gentyles, that all the heathen maye se my
iudgem&ebar;t, that I haue kepte, and my hand
which I haue layed vp&obar; them: that the house
of Israell maye knowe, how that I am þe;
Lord their God from that daye forth. And
the heathen shall knowe, that where as the
house of Israell were led into captiuyte: it
was for their wyckednes sake, because they
offended me.
For the which cause I hyd my face from
them, and delyuered them into the h&abar;des of
their enemies, that they might all be slaine
with the swearde. Accord&ibar;ge to their vncl&ebar;nesse
∧ vnfaithfull dealinges, so haue I entreated
them, and hyd my face from them.
G Therfore, thus sayeth the Lord God: Now
will I bringe agayne the captiues of Iacob
∧ haue mercy vpon the whole house of Israel,
and be gelous for my holy names sake
All their c&obar;fusion and offence that they haue
done agaynst me shall be taken awaye: ∧
so safely shal they dwell in their lande, that
no man shall make them afrayed. And wh&ebar;
I haue brought them agayne from am&obar;ge
the people, when I haue gathered th&ebar; together
out of their enemies landes, ∧ am praysed
in them before many Heathen: then shal
they knowe, that I am the Lord their God
which suffred th&ebar; to be led into captiuite amonge
þe; Heathen, but now haue I brought
them agayne into their awne l&abar;de, and not
left one of them yonder.
After that, will I hyde my face nomore
from th&ebar; note but will poure out my sprete vp&obar;
the house of Israell, sayeth the Lorde God.
