Ezekiel
Chapter Thirty-Eight
1 And the word of Jehovah
came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh,
Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince
of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:
4 and 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;
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
6 Gomer, and all his hordes; the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of
the north, and all his hordes; even many peoples with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, yea, prepare thyself, thou, and all thy companies that are
assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After 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.
9 And 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.
10 Thus 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:
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 securely, all of them dwelling without
walls, and having neither bars nor gates;
12 to 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.
13 Sheba, 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?
14 Therefore, 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?
15 And 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;
16 and 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.
17 Thus 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?
18 And 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.
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 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.
21 And 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.
22 And 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.
23 And 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.
