Ezekiel 38:1-13

The Prophecy against Gog

38¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: ² 'Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him, ³ and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I 'am' against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, ⁴ And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, 'with' buckler and shield, Handling swords—all of them. ⁵ Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them 'with' shield and helmet. ⁶ Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee, ⁷ Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to them for a guard. ⁸ After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword, 'A people' gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them. ⁹ And thou hast gone up—as wasting thou comest in, As a cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee. ¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought an evil thought, ¹¹ And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not. ¹² To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land. ¹³ Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil?
