Ezekiel 38

1 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

3 and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.

5 Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,

6 as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.

7 Get ready; prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you; you will be their guard.

8 After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.

9 You and all your troops, and many peoples with you will go up, advancing like a thunderstorm; you will be like a cloud covering the land.

10 This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a quiet people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—

12 in order to seize the spoil and carry off the plunder, to turn a hand against the desolate places now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions and who live at the center of the land.’

13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will ask, ‘Have you come to capture the plunder? Have you assembled your hordes to carry away loot, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’

14 Therefore prophesy, son of man, and tell Gog that this is what the Lord GOD says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not take notice of this?

15 And you will come from your place out of the far north—you and many peoples with you, all riding horses—a mighty horde, a huge army.

16 You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the latter days, O Gog, that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy in you before their eyes.

17 This is what the Lord GOD says: Are you the one of whom I have spoken in former days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those times prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?

18 Now on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD, My wrath will flare up.

19 In My zeal and fiery rage I proclaim that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

20 The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.

21 And I will summon a sword against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD, and every man’s sword will be against his brother.

22 I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour out torrents of rain, hailstones, fire, and sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.

23 I will magnify and sanctify Myself, and I will reveal Myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.

1 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech 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 I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all 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 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.

7 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 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like 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 go 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 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the 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; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know [it]?

15 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; it 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 in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 So that the 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, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every 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.

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

2 Son of man, turn thou against Gog, which is in the land of Magog, and is the chief prince in Meshech and Thubal, and prophesy of him.

3 And say, Thus saith the LORD Gag; Behold, I will be with thee, Gag, which art the chief prince of the lords of Meshech and Tubal.

4 Behold, I will compass thee about, and put a bridle in thy mouth, and will bring thee forth with all thy host, horse and man, all clothed, and a great company of them, all bearing sabres, and shield, and sword.

5 Thou hast with thee Persians, and Moors, and Libyans, all bearing shields and helmets,

6 And Gomer, and all his host, and the house of Togarmah, which lieth on the north side, and all his host: thou hast a great people with thee.

7 Therefore prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are with thee, and be thou captain of them.

8 After a long time thou shalt be visited. In the latter days thou shalt come into the land that was brought again by the sword, and gathered out of many nations, even into the mountains of Israel, which have been desolate for a long time, and are now brought out of many nations, and all dwell safely.

9 Thou shalt go up, and come with great boldness, and shalt be as a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy host, and the great people with thee.

10 Thus saith the LORD GOD; In that day shalt thou undertake these things, and shalt have them in thy mind wickedly.

11 And remember: I will invade the land without walls, and will come upon them that dwell quietly and securely, as they all sit without walls, and have neither bars nor gates,

12 That thou mayest spoil and plunder, and let thine hand go upon the spoiled that are inhabited again, and upon the people that are gathered out of the heathen, and have sent for food and goods, and dwell in the midst of the land.

13 And the Arabian kingdom, and Dedan, and the merchants of the sea, and all the mighty men that are therein, shall say unto thee, I think that thou art come to plunder, and hast gathered thy multitude to plunder, that thou mayest take away silver and gold, and gather cattle and goods, and make a great plunder.

14 Therefore prophesy, thou son of man, and say unto Gog: Thus saith the LORD Gog; Is it not so, that thou shalt know when my people Israel shall dwell safely?

15 And thou shalt come out of thy place, even from the north country, thou, and a great company with thee, all of them on horseback, a great multitude, and a mighty host.

16 And thou shalt come up upon my people Israel as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days. And I will bring thee into my land, that the heathen may know me, as I am sanctified in thee, O Gog, in their sight;

17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou art he of whom I spake in time past by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in that day, that I would bring thee upon them.

18 And it shall come to pass in those days, when Gog shall come upon the land of Israel, saith the LORD GOD, that my wrath shall come up in my fury.

19 And I speak these things in my zeal, and in the fire of my wrath. For in that day there shall be great trembling in the land of Israel,

20 And the fishes of the sea shall tremble at my presence, and the fowls of the air, and the cattle of the field, and every living thing that moveth upon the face of the earth, and every man that is upon the earth; and the mountains shall be turned back, and the walls and all the ramparts shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword upon him upon all my mountains, saith the LORD GOD; and every man's sword shall be against every man's sword.

22 And I will judge him with pestilence and blood; and I will rain down downpours of fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the great people that are with him.

23 I will therefore be glorious, and holy, and known before many nations, that they may know that I am the LORD.
