1And the word of Jehovah came unto me , saying , 2Son of man , set thy face toward Gog , of the land of Magog , the prince of Rosh, Meshech , and Tubal , and prophesy against him , 3and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Behold , I am against thee, O Gog , prince of Rosh, Meshech , and Tubal : 4and I will turn thee about , and put hooks into thy jaws , and I will bring thee forth , and all thine army , horses and horsemen , all of them clothed in full armor , a great company with buckler and shield , all of them handling swords : 5Persia , Cush , and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet ; 6Gomer , and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north , and all his hordes; even many peoples with thee.
The Gathering of Nations
7Be thou prepared , yea, prepare thyself, thou , and all thy companies that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them . 8After many days thou shalt be visited : in the latter years thou shalt 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 . 9And thou shalt ascend , thou shalt come like a storm , thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou , and all thy hordes, and many peoples with thee. 10Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : It shall come to pass in that day , that things shall come into thy mind , and thou shalt devise an evil device : 11and thou shalt 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 ; 12to take the spoil and to take the prey ; to turn thy 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. 13Sheba , and Dedan , and the merchants of Tarshish , with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee , Art thou come to take the spoil ? hast thou assembled thy company to take the prey ? to carry away silver and gold , to take away cattle and goods , to take great spoil ?
God's Response and Judgment
14Therefore , son of man , prophesy , and say unto Gog , Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, shalt thou not know it ? 15And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost parts of the north , thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses , a great company and a mighty army ; 16and thou shalt 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 thee against my land, that the nations may know me , when I shall be sanctified in thee , O Gog , before their eyes . 17Thus saith the Lord Jehovah : Art thou he of whom I spake in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel , that prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring thee against them ? 18And it shall come to pass in that day , when Gog shall come against the land of Israel , saith the Lord Jehovah , that my wrath shall come up into my nostrils. 19For 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 ; 20so 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 . 21And I will call for a sword against him unto all my mountains , saith the Lord Jehovah : every man ’s sword shall be against his brother. 22And 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 . 23And 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 Jehovah .
