And the word of the LORD
came
to me saying
,
"Son of man
, set
your face
toward
aGog
of the land
of bMagog
, the 1prince
of cRosh
, dMeshech
and dTubal
, and prophesy
against
him
and say, `Thus
says
the Lord
1GOD
, "Behold
, I am against
you, O Gog
, 2prince
of Rosh
, Meshech
and Tubal
.
"I will turn you about
and put
hooks
into your jaws
, and I will abring
you out, and all
your army
, bhorses
and horsemen
, all
of them 1splendidly
attired
, a great
company
with buckler
and shield
, all
of them wielding
swords
;
aPersia, 1 bEthiopia
and cPut
with them, all
of them with shield
and helmet
;
aGomer with all
its troops
; bBeth-togarmah
from the remote
parts
of the north
with all
its troops
--many
peoples
with you.
" aBe prepared, and prepare
yourself, you and all
your companies
that are assembled
about
you, and be a guard
for them.
" aAfter many
days
you will be summoned
; in the latter
years
you will come
into the land
that is restored
from the sword
, whose inhabitants have been bgathered
from many
1nations
to the cmountains
of Israel
which
had been
a continual
waste
; but 2its people were brought
out from the 1nations
, and they are dliving
securely
, all
of them.
"You will go up, you will come
alike a storm
; you will be like a bcloud
covering
the land
, you and all
your troops
, and many
peoples
with you."
`Thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "It will come
about on that day
, that 1thoughts
will come
into your mind
and you will adevise
an evil
plan
,
and you will say, `I will go
up against
the land
of 1 aunwalled
villages
. I will go
against those who are bat rest
, that live
securely
, all
of them living
without
walls
and having
no
bars
or gates
,
to acapture spoil
and to seize
plunder
, to turn
your hand
against
the waste
places
which are now inhabited
, and against
the people
who are gathered
from the nations
, who have acquired
cattle
and goods
, who live
at the 1center
of the world
.'
" aSheba and bDedan
and the merchants
of cTarshish
with all
its 1villages
will say
to you, `Have you come
to capture
spoil
? Have you assembled
your company
to seize
plunder
, to carry
away silver
and gold
, to take
away cattle
and goods
, to capture
great
dspoil
?' "'
"Therefore prophesy
, son
of man
, and say
to Gog
, `Thus
says
the Lord
GOD
, "On that day
when My people
Israel
are aliving
securely
, will you not know
it?
" aYou will come from your place
out of the remote
parts
of the north
, you and many
peoples
with you, all
of them riding
on horses
, a great
assembly
and a mighty
army
;
and you will come up against
My people
Israel
like a cloud
to cover
the land
. It shall come
about in the last
days
that I will bring
you against
My land
, so
that the nations
may aknow
Me when I am bsanctified
through you before their eyes
, O Gog
."
`Thus says
the Lord
GOD
, "Are you the one
of whom
I spoke
in former
days
through
My servants
the prophets
of Israel
, who aprophesied
in those
days
for many years
that I would bring
you against
them?
"It will come about on that day
, when
Gog
comes
against
the land
of Israel
," declares
the Lord
GOD
, "that My fury
will mount
up in My aanger
.
"In My azeal and in My blazing
wrath
I declare
that on that day
there will surely
be a great
1 bearthquake
in the land
of Israel
.
" aThe fish of the sea
, the birds
of the heavens
, the beasts
of the field
, all
the creeping
things
that creep
on the earth
, and all
the men
who
are on the face
of the earth
will shake
at My presence
; the bmountains
also will be thrown
down
, the steep
pathways
will 1collapse
and every
wall
will fall
to the ground
.
"I will call for a asword
against
1him on all
My mountains
," declares
the Lord
GOD
. " bEvery
man's
sword
will be against his brother
.
"With pestilence and with blood
I will enter
into ajudgment
with him; and I will rain
on him and on his troops
, and on the many
peoples
who
are with him, 1a torrential
rain
, with bhailstones
, fire
and brimstone
.
"I will magnify Myself, sanctify
Myself, and amake
Myself known
in the sight
of many
nations
; and they will know
that I am the LORD
