Ezekiel 39:10Easy To Read VersionThey won’t have to gather wood from the fields or chop firewood from the forests because they will use the weapons as firewood. They will take the valuable things from the soldiers that wanted to steal from them. They will take the good things from the soldiers that took good things from them.” The Lord my Master said these things. See the chapter |
“All of the Hebrew [29] women will ask their Egyptian neighbors and the Egyptian women living in their houses for gifts. And those Egyptian women will give them gifts: of silver, gold, and fine clothing. Then you will put those gifts on your children. In this way, you will take away the wealth of the Egyptians.”
Those nations will take the people of Israel back to Israel’s land. Those men and women from the other nations will become slaves to Israel. \{In the past,\} those people forced the people of Israel to become their slaves. But \{at this time,\} the people of Israel will defeat those nations and Israel will then rule over them.
Look, you people make war and steal things from people, and those people never stole anything from you. You turn against people, and those people never turned against you. So when you stop stealing, other people will begin stealing from you. When you stop turning against people, other people will start turning against you.
\{God said,\} “At that time, I will choose a place in Israel to bury Gog. He will be buried in the Valley of the Travelers, {\cf2\super [303]} east of the Dead Sea. It will block the road for travelers. Why? Because Gog and all his army will be buried in that place. People will call it ‘The Valley of Gog’s Army.’
But the survivors {\cf2\super [67]} from Jacob in the nations\par scattered among those people\par will be like a lion\par among the animals in the forest.\par They will be like a young lion\par among flocks of sheep.\par If the lion passes through,\par he goes where he wants to go.\par If he attacks an animal,\par then no one can save that animal.\par \{The survivors will be like that.\}\par
