Ezekiel 38:17-39:6
English Standard Version
17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you (A)he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, (B)my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For (C)in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day (D)there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 (E)The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, (F)shall quake at my presence. And (G)the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21 (H)I will summon a sword against Gog[a] on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. (I)Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and bloodshed (J)I will enter into judgment with him, and (K)I will rain upon him and (L)his hordes and the many peoples who are with him (M)torrential rains and hailstones, (N)fire and sulfur. 23 So I will show my greatness and my (O)holiness and (P)make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then (Q)they will know that I am the Lord.
39 “And you, (R)son of man, (S)prophesy against (T)Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, (U)I am against you, O Gog, (V)chief prince of (W)Meshech[b] and (X)Tubal. 2 (Y)And I will turn you about and drive you forward,[c] and bring you up from (Z)the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the (AA)mountains of Israel. 3 Then (AB)I will strike your bow from your left hand, and (AC)will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4 (AD)You shall fall on (AE)the mountains of Israel, you and all your (AF)hordes and the peoples who are with you. (AG)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall in the open field, for (AH)I have spoken, declares the Lord God. 6 (AI)I will send fire on (AJ)Magog and on those (AK)who dwell securely in (AL)the coastlands, and (AM)they shall know that I am the Lord.

New Living Translation
17 “This is what the Sovereign Lord asks: Are you the one I was talking about long ago, when I announced through Israel’s prophets that in the future I would bring you against my people? 18 But this is what the Sovereign Lord says: When Gog invades the land of Israel, my fury will boil over! 19 In my jealousy and blazing anger, I promise a mighty shaking in the land of Israel on that day. 20 All living things—the fish in the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people on earth—will quake in terror at my presence. Mountains will be thrown down; cliffs will crumble; walls will fall to the earth. 21 I will summon the sword against you on all the hills of Israel, says the Sovereign Lord. Your men will turn their swords against each other. 22 I will punish you and your armies with disease and bloodshed; I will send torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and burning sulfur! 23 In this way, I will show my greatness and holiness, and I will make myself known to all the nations of the world. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
The Slaughter of Gog’s Hordes
39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord: I am your enemy, O Gog, ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. 2 I will turn you around and drive you toward the mountains of Israel, bringing you from the distant north. 3 I will knock the bow from your left hand and the arrows from your right hand, and I will leave you helpless. 4 You and your army and your allies will all die on the mountains. I will feed you to the vultures and wild animals. 5 You will fall in the open fields, for I have spoken, says the Sovereign Lord. 6 And I will rain down fire on Magog and on all your allies who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
