Ezekiel 38

38And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, ^2aSon of man, ^bset thy face against ^acGog, the land of ^cdMagog, ^||athe chief prince of ^eMeshech and ^eTubal, ^aand prophesy against him, ³And say, Thus saith the Lord God; ^aBehold, ^fI am against thee, O ^cGog, ^athe chief prince of ^eMeshech and ^eTubal: ^4gAnd I will turn thee back, and ^hput hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and ⁱall thine army, horses and ⁱhorsemen, all of them ^kclothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with ^lbucklers and ^lshields, all of them handling swords: ^5mPersia, ⁿEthiopia, and ^||mLibya with them; all of them with ^mshield and ^mhelmet: ^6oGomer, and all his ^pbands; the house of ^qTogarmah ^rof ^sthe north quarters, and all his ^pbands: and ^rmany people with thee. ^7tBe thou prepared, and ^uprepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. ^8vAfter many days ^wthou shalt be visited: ^vin the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is ^xgathered out of many people, against ^ythe mountains of Israel, which ^zhave been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall ^adwell safely all of them. ⁹Thou shalt ascend and come ^blike a ^cstorm, thou shalt be ^dlike a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all ^ethy bands, ^eand many people with thee.

¹⁰Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things ^fcome into thy mind, and thou shalt ^||think an evil thought: ¹¹And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of ^gunwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, ^ahthat dwell ^||safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and ^hhaving neither bars nor gates, ^12†iTo take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon ^jthe desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are ^kgathered out of the nations, which have gotten ^lcattle and goods, that dwell in the ^†midst of the land. ^13mSheba, and ⁿDedan, and ^othe merchants of Tarshish, with all ^pthe young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come ⁱto take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company ⁱto take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away ^lcattle and goods, ⁱto take a great spoil? ¹⁴Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; ^qIn that day when my people of Israel ^adwelleth safely, ^rshalt thou not know it? ¹⁵And ^sthou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and ^tmany people with thee, all of them ^uriding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: ¹⁶And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, ^das a cloud to cover the land; it shall be ^vin the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, ^wwhen I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, ^xbefore their eyes.

¹⁷Thus 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? ¹⁸And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that ^ymy fury shall come up in my face. ¹⁹For ^yin my jealousy and in ^zthe fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely ^qin that day there shall be ^aa great shaking in the land of Israel; ²⁰So that ^bcthe fishes of the sea, and ^bcthe fowls of the heaven, and ^bthe beasts of the field, and all ^ccreeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and ^dthe mountains shall be thrown down, and ^ethe ^||steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. ²¹And I will ^fgcall for ^gha sword against him ⁱthroughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: ^jevery man’s sword shall be against his brother. ²²And ^kI will plead against him with ^lmpestilence and with ^lblood; and ⁿI will rain upon him, and upon his ^obands, and upon ^othe many people that are with him, ^pan overflowing rain, and ^pqgreat hailstones, ⁿfire, and ^nrbrimstone. ²³Thus ^swill I magnify myself, and ^stsanctify myself; and ^stuI will be known in the eyes of many nations, ^vand they shall know that I am the Lord.
