and say , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Behold ,
I am against you ,
O Gog ,
the prince of Rosh ,
Meshech ,
and Tubal .
*
I will turn you around ,
put hooks into your jaws ,
and lead you out ,
with all your army ,
horses ,
and horsemen ,
all splendidly clothed ,
a great company with bucklers and shields ,
all of them handling swords .
*
Persia ,
Ethiopia ,
and Libya are with them ,
all of them with shield and helmet ;
*
Gomer and all its troops ;
the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops--many people are with you .
* "
Prepare yourself and be ready ,
you and all your companies that are gathered about you ;
and be a guard for them .
*
After many days you will be visited .
In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel ,
which had long been desolate ;
they were brought out of the nations ,
and now all of them dwell safely .
*
You will ascend ,
coming like a storm ,
covering the land like a cloud ,
you and all your troops and many peoples with you ."
* "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind ,
and you will make an evil plan :
*
You will say , "
I will go up against a land of unwalled villages ;
I will go to a peaceful people ,
who dwell safely ,
all of them dwelling without walls ,
and having neither bars nor gates '--
*
to take plunder and to take booty ,
to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited ,
and against a people gathered from the nations ,
who have acquired livestock and goods ,
who dwell in the midst of the land .
*
Sheba ,
Dedan ,
the merchants of Tarshish ,
and all their young lions will say to you , "
Have you come to take plunder ?
Have you gathered your army to take booty ,
to carry away silver and gold ,
to take away livestock and goods ,
to take great plunder ?""
* "
Therefore ,
son of man ,
prophesy and say to Gog , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
On that day when My people Israel dwell safely ,
will you not know it ?
*
Then you will come from your place out of the far north ,
you and many peoples with you ,
all of them riding on horses ,
a great company and a mighty army .
*
You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud ,
to cover the land .
It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land ,
so that the nations may know Me ,
when I am hallowed in you ,
O Gog ,
before their eyes ."
*
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel ,
who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them ?
* "
And it will come to pass at the same time ,
when Gog comes against the land of Israel ,"
says the Lord GOD , "
that My fury will show in My face .
*
For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken : "
Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel ,
*
so that the fish of the sea ,
the birds of the heavens ,
the beasts of the field ,
all creeping things that creep on the earth ,
and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence .
The mountains shall be thrown down ,
the steep places shall fall ,
and every wall shall fall to the ground .'
*
I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains ,"
says the Lord GOD . "
Every man '
s sword will be against his brother .
*
And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed ;
I will rain down on him ,
on his troops ,
and on the many peoples who are with him ,
flooding rain ,
great hailstones ,
fire ,
and brimstone .
*
Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself ,
and I will be known in the eyes of many nations .
Then they shall know that I am the LORD ."'
