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.

Judgment on Gog
17 Thus says the Lord God: Are you 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?(A) 18 On that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, says the Lord God, my wrath shall be aroused.(B) 19 For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare: On that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;(C) 20 the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and the animals of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground and all humans who are on the face of the earth shall quake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground.(D) 21 I will summon the sword against Gog[a] in[b] all my mountains, says the Lord God; the swords of all will be against their comrades.(E) 22 With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will pour down torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur upon him and his troops and the many peoples who are with him.(F) 23 So I will display my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.(G)
Gog’s Armies Destroyed
39 And you, mortal, prophesy against Gog and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!(H) 2 I will turn you around and drive you forward and bring you up from the remotest parts of the north and lead you against the mountains of Israel. 3 I will strike your bow from your left hand and will make your arrows drop out of your right hand.(I) 4 You shall fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every kind and to the wild animals to be devoured.(J) 5 You shall fall in the open field, for I have spoken, says the Lord God. 6 I will send fire on Magog and on those who live securely in the coastlands, and they shall know that I am the Lord.(K)
