¹⁶ You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud^(A) that covers the land.^(B) In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy^(C) through you before their eyes.^(D)

¹⁷ “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. ¹⁸ This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. ¹⁹ In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake^(E) in the land of Israel.^{(F) 20} The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble^(G) at my presence. The mountains will be overturned,^(H) the cliffs will crumble^(I) and every wall will fall to the ground.^{(J) 21} I will summon a sword^(K) against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother.^{(L) 22} I will execute judgment^(M) on him with plague and bloodshed;^(N) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones^(O) and burning sulfur^(P) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.^{(Q) 23} And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.^(R)’

²² From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. ²³ And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.^{(A) 24} I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.^(B)

²⁵ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob^[a](C) and will have compassion^(D) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.^{(E) 26} They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety^(F) in their land with no one to make them afraid.^{(G) 27} When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.^{(H) 28} Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them^(I) to their own land, not leaving any behind.^{(J) 29} I will no longer hide my face^(K) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit^(L) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(M)”
