14“Therefore prophesy, son of man,h and you must say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Will you not realizei on that day when my people Israel are dwelling in safety,j 15and so you will come from your place, from the remote areas of the north, you and many people with you, horsemenk all of them, a great crowd and a vast army, 16and you will advance against my people Israel like a cloud coveringl the land; it will bem in the last days, and I will bring you against my land, so that the nations know me, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes, O Gog!” ’

17“Thus says the Lord Yahweh, ‘Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of my servants the prophets of Israel who were prophesying in those days for years that I would bring you against them? 18And so then in that day, on the day of the coming of God against the land of Israel,’ declaresn the Lord Yahweh, ‘my rage will come up in my anger. 19And in my passion, in the fire of my wrath, I spokeo that certainlyp on that day a great earthquake will be on the land of Israel. 20And the fish of the sea and the birdsq of the heavenr and the animalss of the field and all of the creeping things that creep on the earth and all of the humanst who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence;u and the mountains will be demolished, and the steep mountain sides will fall, and every wall onv the earth will fall. 21And I will call against himw in all of my mountains a sword,’ declaresx the Lord Yahweh, ‘And the sword of each person will be against his brother. 22And I will execute justice withy him with a plague and with blood and torrents of rain,z and hailstones; fire and sulfur I will cause to fall on him and on his troops and on many peoples who are with him. 23And so I will exalt myself, and I will show myself holy, and I will make myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they will know that I am Yahweh.’ ”
