Ezekiel 38:1-9

Modern English Version

A Prophecy Against Gog

38 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ² Son of man, set your face against Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³ and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal. ⁴ And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords. ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet. ⁶ I will do so to Gomer and all its troops, Beth Togarmah of the north quarters and all its troops, and many peoples with you.

⁷ Be prepared and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled to you, and be a guard to them. ⁸ After many days you shall be called. In the latter years you shall come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel which had been always a waste. But its people were brought out of the nations, and they, all of them, are dwelling safely. ⁹ You shall ascend and come like a storm; you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.
