Yechezkel 38 יחזקאל ל״ח

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

Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval, and prophesy against him,

and say, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval:

and I will turn thee about and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee out, and all thy army, horses and horsemen, all of them in complete attire, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords:

Paras, Kush, and Put with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarma of the far sides of the north, and all his bands: and many peoples with thee.

Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard to them.

After many days thou shalt be called upon: in the latter years thou shalt come against the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many peoples against the mountains of Yisra᾽el, which have been a continual waste: but it is brought out of the nations, and they dwell safely all of them.

Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many peoples with thee.

Thus says the Lord God; It shall come to pass on that day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil scheme:

and thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at quiet, that dwell in safety, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates;

to take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thy hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against a people that are gathered out of the nations, that have acquired cattle and goods, and that dwell at the centre of the earth.

Sheva, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, shall say to thee. Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God; In that day when my people of Yisra᾽el dwell safely, shalt thou not know it?

And thou shalt come from thy place out of the far sides of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

and thou shalt come up against my people of Yisra᾽el, like a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified by thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Thus says the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Yisra᾽el, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring thee against them?

And it shall come to pass on that day, when Gog shall come against the land of Yisra᾽el, says the Lord God, that my fury shall glare out.

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my anger have I spoken saying, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Yisra᾽el;

so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the sky, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

And I will contend with him by pestilence and by blood; and I will rain down upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with him, a torrential rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself; and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
