Prophecy Against Gog

38 The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to me, saying, ² “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], ·look [^Lturn your face] toward Gog of the land of Magog [Rev. 20:8], the chief ·ruler [prince] of the nations of Meshech and Tubal [^Ctwo nations in northeast Asia Minor; 32:26]. Prophesy against him ³ and say, ‘The Lord God says this: [^LLook; ^TBehold] I am against you, Gog, chief ·ruler [prince] of Meshech and Tubal. ⁴ I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws. And I will bring you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of whom will be dressed in ·beautiful uniforms [or full armor]. They will be a ·large army [great horde/host] with large and small shields and all ·having [brandishing; wielding] swords. ⁵ Persia, Cush [^CEthiopia], and Put [^CLydia] will be with them, all of them having shields and helmets. ⁶ There will also be Gomer [^Cpeople living north of the Black Sea; Gen. 10:3; 1 Chr. 1:6] with all its ·troops [hordes] and the nation of Beth-Togarmah [27:14; Gen. 10:3] from the far north with all its troops—many nations with you.
