And the word of the LORD
came unto me, saying
,
Son of man
, set
thy face
against Gog
, the land
of Magog
, the chief
prince
of Meshech
and Tubal
, and prophesy
against him,
And say, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog
, the chief
prince
of Meshech
and Tubal
:
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, Ethiopia
, and Libya
with them; all of them with shield
and helmet
:
Gomer, and all his bands
; the house
of Togarmah
of the north
quarters
, and all his bands
: and many
people
with thee.
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 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.
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.
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
:
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
,
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 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, 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 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
:
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
.
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?
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
.
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
;
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 call for a sword
against him throughout all my mountains
, saith
the Lord
GOD
: every man's
sword
shall be against his brother
.
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
.
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
.
