“
Son of man, set your
face against Gog of
the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal .
Prophesy against him
Son of man, set thy
face against Gog ,
the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal ,
and
prophesy against him ,
and declare
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
Behold, I am against you
, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal .
And say,
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold, I am against thee
, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal :
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 .
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 :
Persia, Cush
, and Put
will
accompany
them ,
all with shields
and helmets,
Persia, Ethiopia
, and Libya
with
them ;
all of
them
with shield
and helmet:
as
well
as
Gomer with
all
its
troops
, and Beth-
togarmah from
the far
north with
all its
troops—the
many nations
with you
.
Gomer, and all
his
bands;
the
house
of
Togarmah of
the north quarters,
and
all his
bands:
and
many people
with thee
.
Get
ready;
prepare yourself
, you
and all your
company gathered
around
you;
you
will
be their
guard.
Be
thou
prepared,
and
prepare for
thyself
, thou,
and all thy
company that
are
assembled
unto
thee,
and
be thou
a
guard unto
them
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
On
that
day
, thoughts
will
arise
in
your
mind, and you
will
devise
an evil plan.
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:
You
will
say, ‘
I will go up against
a
land of unwalled villages; I will come
against
a
tranquil
people
who
dwell securely
, all of them living
without walls or
bars or
gates —
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 ,
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. ’
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.
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? ’
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?
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
?
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
?
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 .
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 :
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.
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.
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?
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?
Now
on
that
day
when Gog comes
against the land of Israel, declares
the Lord GOD, My wrath
will
flare
up.
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
.
In My zeal
and fiery
rage
I proclaim
that
on
that day there will
be a great earthquake
in the land of Israel .
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 ;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
.
I
will magnify and sanctify Myself ,
and will reveal
Myself
in the sight
of many nations .
Then
they will
know that I am the LORD.
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.
