Ezekiel 38:1–9

Prophecy about Gog and Future Invasion of Israel

1 And the word of the Lord came to me saying,

2 “Son of man, set your face toward aGog of the land of bMagog, the 1prince of cRosh, dMeshech and dTubal, and prophesy against him

3 and say, ‘Thus says the Lord 1God, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, 2prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal.

4 “I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will abring you out, and all your army, bhorses and horsemen, all of them 1splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords;

5 aPersia, 1bEthiopia and cPut with them, all of them with shield and helmet;

6 aGomer with all its troops; bBeth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples with you.

7 “aBe prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them.

8 “aAfter many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been bgathered from many 1nations to the cmountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but 2its people were brought out from the 1nations, and they are dliving securely, all of them.

9 “You will go up, you will come alike a storm; you will be like a bcloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”
