Ezekiel 38:17-39:6

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ “ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: You are the one I spoke about long ago through my servants the prophets of Israel. They prophesied in those days that I would bring you to attack them. ¹⁸ On the day that Gog attacks the land of Israel, I will be filled with burning anger, declares the Almighty Lord. ¹⁹ In my fiery anger I tell you this. On that day there will be a large earthquake in the land of Israel. ²⁰ Fish, birds, wild animals, everything that crawls on the ground, and every person on earth will tremble in my presence. The mountains will be torn down, the cliffs will crumble, and every wall will fall to the ground. ²¹ I will declare war against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Almighty Lord. Each person will use his sword against his relative. ²² I will punish Gog with plagues and death. I will send rainstorms, large hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur on his troops and on the many armies with him. ²³ I will show my greatness and my holiness. I will reveal myself to many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’ ”

39 ⌞The Lord said,⌟ “Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Tell it, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I am against you, Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. ² I will turn you around and lead you. I will bring you from the far north and have you attack the mountains of Israel. ³ Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand and make you drop the arrows in your right hand. ⁴ You will die on the mountains of Israel with your troops and the armies that are with you. I will let you become food for every bird of prey and for every wild animal. ⁵ You will die in the open field because I said so, declares the Almighty Lord. ⁶ I will send fire on Magog and on those who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
