Ezekiel 38:2-6
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Son of men, set thy face against [a]Gog, and against the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 And I will destroy thee, and put hooks in thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth and all thine host, both horses and horsemen, all clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all [b]handling swords.
5 They of [c]Paras, of Cush, and Put with them, even all they that bear shield and helmet.
6 [d]Gomer and all his bands, and the house of Togarmah of the North quarters, and all his bands, and much people with thee.
