a spoil and to divide a prey, to turn MY "hand against the desert places that are "become inhabited, and against a people "gathered out of the nations, which have "gotten cattle and goods, and which dwell IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAND." SHEBA, and DEDAN, and the merchants of TARSHISH, with their villages, shall say unto THEE: "Art THOU gone to take a spoil? Hast THOU assembled THY company to take a prey? To carry away "silver and gold; to take away cattle and goods, to divide a great spoil?”

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto GOGUE, Thus saith THE LORD GOD: In that day, when MY PEOPLE ISRAEL dwell securely, THOU wilt observe it; and THOU wilt come from THY PLACE, from the sides of THE NORTH, THOU and MANY NATIONS with THEE; all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty host; and 16. THOU wilt come up against MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, as A as A CLOUD to cover the land.

Therefore, in THE LATTER DAYS it shallcome to pass, that I MYSELF will cause THEE to go up against MY LAND, that THE NATIONS may know ME, when I shall be sanctified in THEE, O GOGUE, before their eyes.

Thus saith THE LORD GOD: THOU art HE of whom I spake in former days, by my servants the Prophets of ISRAEL; who prophesied of THESE DAYS AND YEARS, that I would bring THEE against them. And it shall come to pass in that day, the day in which GOGUE shall come against the land of ISRAEL, saith THE LORD GOD, that MY fury shall rise up into my face. For, in My jealousy and in the fire of MY wrath have I spoken it; in that day there shall be A GREAT COMMOTION in the land of ISRAEL, SO that the very fishes of the sea, and the fowls of heaven, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men upon the face 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. And I will 21. call for A SWORD against HIM throughout ALL MY MOUNTAINS, saith THE LORD; man's sword shall be against his brother. And I will plead against HIM, with pesti 22. lence and with blood, and with an overwhelming rain, and great hailstones; fire and brimstone will I rain upon HIM, and upon HIS BANDS, and upon the MANY NATIONS that are with HIM. Thus will I magnify 23. MYSELF, and sanctify MYSELF, and I will be known in the eyes of MANY NATIONS, and they shall know that I AM THE LORD. Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy XXXIX. against GOGUE, and say, Thus saith THE LORD GOD:

Behold I am upon THEE, O GOGUE! the CLOUD of Ros, Mosc, and TOвL! and I will turn THEE about, and lead THEE forth, and cause THEE to go up from the sides of the NORTH, and to come upon THE MOUNTAINS OF ISRAEL. And I will smite THY bow out of THY left hand, and will cause THINE arrows to fall out of THY right hand.

THOU shalt fall upon the MOUNTAINS OF

ISRAEL, THOU AND ALL THY BANDS, and
THE NATIONS that are with THEE; to the
ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts
of the field, have I given THEE to be devoured.
ON THE FACE OF THE FIELD THOU SHALT
FALL! for I have spoken it, saith THE LORD
GOD. And I will send A FIRE upon Ma-
GOGUE; and on them that dwell securely in
the Isles; and they shall know that I AM
THE LORD. So will I make My HOLY
NAME known in the midst of MY PEOPLE
ISRAEL, and I will not suffer MY HOLY
NAME to be polluted any more; and THE
NATIONS shall know that I AM THE LORD,
THE HOLY ONE IN ISRAEL.

BEHOLD, it is come and it is done! saith THE LORD GOD: THIS IS THE DAY WHEREOF I HAVE SPOKEN! And they that dwell in the cities of ISRAEL shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, the shields and the lances, the bows and the arrows, and the javelins and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years; so that they should take no wood out of the

field, neither cut down any out of the forests, for they shall burn the weapons in the fire. AND THEY SHALL SPOIL THOSE

THAT SPOILED THEM, AND

THEY SHALL

PLUNDER THOSE THAT PLUNDERED THEM; saith THE LORD GOD!

. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give GOGUE a place of NAME, a BURIAL-PLACE in ISRAEL; in the valley through which they pass towards the sea. For it shall make the passengers to stop their noses, wherefore they shall bury GoGUE and all his multitude there; and they shall call it, the valley of THE MULTITUDE of GOGUE.

And seven months shall THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL be burying them, that they may cleanse the land; yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be unto them A RENOWN in the day that I shall be glorified, saith THE LORD GOD. And they 14. shall set apart men of continual employment, passing through the land for the

burying those that remain upon the face of
