New American Standard Bible

Prophecy about Gog and Future Invasion of Israel

38 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ²“Son of man, set your face toward ^(A)Gog of the land of ^(B)Magog, the ^(C)chief prince of ^(D)Meshech and ^(E)Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³and say, ‘This is what the Lord ^[a]God says: “Behold, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. ⁴So I will turn you around and put hooks into your jaws, and I will ^(F)bring you out, and all your army, ^(G)horses and horsemen, all of them magnificently dressed, a great contingent with shield and ^[b]buckler, all of them wielding swords; ⁵^(H)Persia, ^[c]^(I)Cush, and ^(J)Put with them, all of them with buckler and helmet; ⁶^(K)Gomer with all its troops; ^(L)Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples with you.

⁷“^(M)Be ready, and be prepared, you and all your contingents that are assembled around you, and be a guard for them. ⁸^(N)After 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 ^(O)gathered from many ^[d]nations to the ^(P)mountains of Israel which had been a continual place of ruins; but ^[e]its people were brought out from the ^[f]nations, and they are ^(Q)living securely, all of them. ⁹And you will go up, you will come ^(R)like a storm; you will be like a ^(S)cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”
