1 God's judgments upon Gog: 8 the loss of the enemy denoted by the multitude of weapons burned by Israel. 11 Gog's burial in Hamon-gog. 17 The feast upon the slain proclaimed to the fowls and beasts. 21 The heathen shall see God's judgment, and know that he plagued Israel for their sins; 25 but he will gather them again with everlasting favour.
