Seeker Overlay ON
*
You will advance ,
coming on like a storm ,
you will be like a cloud covering the land you and all your hordes ,
and many peoples with you .
* "
Thus says the Lord GOD :
On that day thoughts will come into your mind ,
and you will devise an evil scheme
*
and say , `
I will go up against the land of unwalled villages ;
I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely ,
all of them dwelling without walls ,
and having no bars or gates ';
*
to seize spoil and carry off plunder ;
to assail the waste places which are now inhabited ,
and the people who were gathered from the nations ,
who have gotten cattle and goods ,
who dwell at the center of the earth .
*
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its villages will say to you , `
Have you come to seize spoil ?
Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder ,
to carry away silver and gold ,
to take away cattle and goods ,
to seize great spoil ?'
* "
Therefore ,
son of man ,
prophesy ,
and say to Gog ,
Thus says the Lord GOD :
On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely ,
you will bestir yourself
*
and come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north ,
you and many peoples with you ,
all of them riding on horses ,
a great host ,
a mighty army ;
*
you will come up against my people Israel ,
like a cloud covering the land .
In the latter days I will bring you against my land ,
that the nations may know me ,
when through you ,
O Gog ,
I vindicate my holiness before their eyes .
* "
Thus says the Lord GOD :
Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel ,
who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them ?
*
But on that day ,
when Gog shall come against the land of Israel ,
says the Lord GOD ,
my wrath will be roused .
