Ezek 38
1
And the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech,
and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3
and say, Thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal:
4
and I will turn you about, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth,
and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great
company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords;
5
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6
Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north,
and all his hordes; even many peoples with you.
7
Be you prepared, yea, prepare yourself, you, and all your companies that are assembled
to you, and be you a guard to them.
8
After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the
land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon
the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth
out of the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
9
And you shall ascend, you shall come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover
the land, you, and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.
10
Thus says the Lord YHWH: It shall come to pass in that day, that things shall come
into your mind, and you shall devise an evil device:
11
and you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them
that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates;
12
to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn your hand against the waste places
that are [now] inhabited, and against the people that are gathered out of the nations,
that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the earth.
13
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof,
shall say to you, Art you come to take the spoil? have you assembled your company
to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to
take great spoil?
14
Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord YHWH: In that
day when my people Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it?
15
And you shall come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you, and
many peoples with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty
army;
16
and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: it shall
come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations
may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
17
Thus says the Lord YHWH: Art you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the
prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days for [many] years that I would bring
you against them?
18
And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
says the Lord YHWH, that my anger shall come up into my nostrils.
19
For in my jealousy and in the fire of my anger 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 birds of the heavens, 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 to all my mountains, says the Lord YHWH: every
man`s sword shall be against his brother.
22
And with pestilence and with blood will I enter into judgment with him; and I will
rain upon him, and upon his hordes, and upon the many peoples that are with him, an
overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23
And I will magnify myself, and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the
eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I am YHWH.
