Ezekiel 38:13-23

English Standard Version

¹³^(A)Sheba and ^(B)Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all ^(C)its leaders^[a] will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’

¹⁴“Therefore, ^(D)son of man, prophesy, and say to ^(E)Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are ^(F)dwelling securely, ^(G)will you not know it? ¹⁵You will come from your place out of ^(H)the uttermost parts of the north, you and ^(I)many peoples with you, ^(J)all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. ¹⁶You will come up against my people Israel, ^(K)like a cloud covering the land. ^(L)In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, ^(M)I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.

¹⁷“Thus says the Lord God: Are you ^(N)he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? ¹⁸But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, ^(O)my wrath will be roused in my anger. ¹⁹For ^(P)in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day ^(Q)there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. ²⁰^(R)The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, ^(S)shall quake at my presence. And ^(T)the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. ²¹^(U)I will summon a sword against Gog^[b] on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. ^(V)Every man's sword will be against his brother. ²²With pestilence and bloodshed ^(W)I will enter into judgment with him, and ^(X)I will rain upon him and ^(Y)his hordes and the many peoples who are with him ^(Z)torrential rains and hailstones, ^(AA)fire and sulfur. ²³So I will show my greatness and my ^(AB)holiness and ^(AC)make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then ^(AD)they will know that I am the Lord.
