Ezekiel 38

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ² Son of man, set thy face against ^aGog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of ^bMeshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³ And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: ⁴ And ^cI will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, ^dall of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: ^{6 e}Gomer, and all his bands; the house of ^fTogarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. ^{7 g}Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

^{8 h}After many days ⁱthou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, ^jand is gathered out of many people, against ^kthe mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall ^ldwell safely all of them. ⁹ Thou shalt ascend and come ^mlike a storm, thou shalt be ⁿlike a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

¹⁰ Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: ¹¹ And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will ^ogo to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates, ¹² To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land. ^{13 q}Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all ^pthe young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

¹⁴ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; ^rIn that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it? ^{15 s}And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: ¹⁶ And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; ^tit shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

¹⁷ Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them? ¹⁸ And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. ¹⁹ For ^uin my jealousy ^vand in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, ^wSurely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; ²⁰ So that ^xthe fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, ^yand the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. ²¹ And I will ^zcall for a sword against him throughout all ^amy mountains, saith the Lord GOD: ^bevery man's sword shall be against his brother. ²² And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. ²³ Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
