¹⁴ “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety,^(A) will you not take notice of it?

⁸ After many days^(A) you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations^(B) to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.^(C)

⁵ And I myself will be a wall^(A) of fire^(B) around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory^(C) within.’^(D)

¹¹ You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people^(A)—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.^(B)

⁸ For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye^(A)—

²⁸ Then the nations will know that I the Lord make Israel holy,^(A) when my sanctuary is among them forever.^(B)’”

The Branch of the Lord
