Ezekiel 39:7

God's holiness God's power and sovereignty

⁵ You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.

⁶ I will send fire on Magog and on those who dwell securely in the coastlands, and they will know that I am the LORD.

So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

⁸ Yes, it is coming, and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD. This is the day of which I have spoken.

⁹ Then those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out, kindle fires, and burn up the weapons—the bucklers and shields, the bows and arrows, the clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
