And the
word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
02 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land
of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal,
and prophesy against him,
03 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am
against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech
and Tubal:
04 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:
05 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of
them with shield and helmet:
06 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of
Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his
bands: and many people with thee.
07 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself,
thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
08 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.
09 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.
