17 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by the hand of My slaves the prophets of Israel, who (A)prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? 18 And it will be in that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” declares Lord Yahweh, “that My wrath will mount up in My (B)anger. 19 In My (C)zeal and in My blazing fury I have spoken that on that day there will surely be a great [a](D)earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 (E)And the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the men who are on the face of the earth will quake at My presence; the (F)mountains also will be pulled down, the steep pathways will fall, and every wall will fall to the earth. 21 And I will call for a (G)sword against [b]him on all My mountains,” declares Lord Yahweh. “(H)Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and with blood I will enter into (I)judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the numerous peoples who are with him, [c]a torrential rain, with (J)hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 And I will magnify Myself, I will manifest Myself as holy, and I will (K)make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am Yahweh.”’

And I will (M)strike your bow from your left hand and cause your arrows from your right hand to fall. You will (N)fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as (O)food to every [e]kind of predatory bird and beast of the field. You will fall on the [f]open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares Lord Yahweh. “And I will send (P)fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the (Q)coastlands securely; and they will know that I am Yahweh.
