Ezekiel 38

A Prophecy against Gog

1And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 your faceH6440 againstH413 GogH1463 of the landH776 of MagogH4031, the chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422.1 ProphesyH5012 against himH5921 3and declareH559 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: BeholdH2005, I am against youH413, O GogH1463, chiefH7218 princeH5387 of MeshechH4902 and TubalH8422.2 4I will turn you aroundH7725, putH5414 hooksH2397 in your jawsH3895, and bring you outH3318 with allH3605 your armyH2428—your horsesH5483, your horsemenH6571 in fullH3605 armorH3847H4358, and a greatH7227 companyH6951 armed with shieldsH6793 and bucklersH4043, allH3605 brandishingH8610 their swordsH2719. 5PersiaH6539, CushH3568,3 and PutH6316 will accompany themH854, allH3605 with shieldsH4043 and helmetsH3553, 6as well as GomerH1586 with allH3605 its troopsH102, and Beth-togarmahH1004H8425 from the farH3411 northH6828 with allH3605 its troopsH102—the manyH7227 nationsH5971 with youH854.

7Get readyH3559; prepareH3559 yourself, youH859 and allH3605 your companyH6951 gatheredH6950 around youH5921; you will beH1961 their guardH4929. 8After a longH7227 timeH3117 you will be summonedH6485. In the latterH319 yearsH8141 you will enterH935H413 a landH776 that has recoveredH7725 from warH2719, whose people were gatheredH6908 from manyH7227 nationsH5971 toH5921 the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 had longH8548 beenH1961 desolateH2723. TheyH1931 had been brought outH3318 from the nationsH5971, and allH3605 now dwellH3427 securelyH983. 9YouH859 and allH3605 your troopsH102, and manyH7227 peoplesH5971 with youH854 will go upH5927, advancingH935 like a thunderstormH7722; you will beH1961 like a cloudH6051 coveringH3680 the landH776.

10This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559H1961: On thatH1931 dayH3117, thoughtsH1697 will ariseH5927 inH5921 your mindH3824, and you will deviseH2803 an evilH7451 planH4284. 11You will sayH559, ‘I will go upH5927 againstH5921 a landH776 of unwalled villagesH6519; I will come againstH935 a quiet peopleH8252 who dwellH3427 securelyH983, allH3605 of them livingH3427 withoutH369 wallsH2346 or barsH1280 or gatesH1817— 12in order to seizeH7997 the spoilH7998 and carry off the plunderH962H957, to turnH7725 a handH3027 againstH5921 the desolate placesH2723 now inhabitedH3427 and againstH413 a peopleH5971 gatheredH622 from the nationsH1471, who have acquiredH6213 livestockH4735 and possessionsH7075 and who liveH3427 atH5921 the centerH2872 of the landH776.’

13ShebaH7614 and DedanH1719 and the merchantsH5503 of TarshishH8659 with allH3605 its villagesH37154 will askH559, ‘Have youH859 comeH935 to captureH7997 the plunderH7998? Have you assembledH6950 your hordesH6951 to carry awayH962 lootH957, to make offH5375 with silverH3701 and goldH2091, to takeH3947 cattleH4735 and goodsH7075, to seizeH7997 greatH1419 spoilH7998?’

14ThereforeH3651 prophesyH5012, sonH1121 of manH120, and tellH559 GogH1463 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: On thatH1931 dayH3117 when My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 are dwellingH3427 securelyH983, will you notH3808 take notice of thisH3045?5 15And you will comeH935 from your placeH4725 out of the farH3411 northH6828—youH859 and manyH7227 peoplesH5971 with youH854, allH3605 ridingH7392 horsesH5483—a mightyH1419 hordeH6951, a hugeH7227 armyH2428. 16You will advanceH5927 againstH5921 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 like a cloudH6051 coveringH3680 the landH776. It will happenH1961 in the latterH319 daysH3117, O GogH1463, that I will bring youH935 againstH5921 My landH776, so thatH4616 the nationsH1471 may knowH3045 MeH853 when I show Myself holyH6942 in you before their eyesH5869.

17This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559: Are youH859 the oneH1931 of whomH834 I have spokenH1696 in formerH6931 daysH3117 throughH3027 My servantsH5650, the prophetsH5030 of IsraelH3478, who in thoseH1992 timesH3117 prophesiedH5012 for yearsH8141 that I would bringH935 youH853 against themH5921? 18NowH1961 on thatH1931 dayH3117 when GogH1463 comesH935 againstH5921 the landH127 of IsraelH3478, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, My wrathH2534H639 will flare upH5927.

19In My zealH7068 and fieryH784 rageH5678 I proclaimH1696H518H3808 that on thatH1931 dayH3117 there will beH1961 a greatH1419 earthquakeH7494 inH5921 the landH127 of IsraelH3478. 20The fishH1709 of the seaH3220, the birdsH5775 of the airH8064, the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, everyH3605 creatureH7431 that crawlsH7430 uponH5921 the groundH127, and allH3605 mankindH120 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127 will trembleH7493 at My presenceH6440. The mountainsH2022 will be thrown downH2040, the cliffsH4095 will collapseH5307, and everyH3605 wallH2346 will fallH5307 to the groundH776.

21And I will summonH7121 a swordH2719 against GogH5921 on allH3605 My mountainsH2022, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and every man’sH376 swordH2719 will beH1961 against his brotherH251. 22I will execute judgmentH8199 upon himH854 with plagueH1698 and bloodshedH1818. I will pour outH4305 torrentsH7857 of rainH1653, hailstonesH68H417, fireH784, and sulfurH1614 on himH5921 and onH5921 his troopsH102 and onH5921 the manyH7227 nationsH5971 with himH854. 23I will magnifyH1431 and sanctify MyselfH6942, and I will reveal MyselfH3045 in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 nationsH1471. Then they will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068.
