Legacy Standard Bible
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.”’
Prophecy About Gog’s Judgment
39 “Now as for (L)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, [d]chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; 2 and I will turn you around, drive you on, take you up from the remotest parts of the north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 And I will (M)strike your bow from your left hand and cause your arrows from your right hand to fall. 4 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. 5 You will fall on the [f]open field; for it is I who have spoken,” declares Lord Yahweh. 6 “And I will send (P)fire upon Magog and those who inhabit the (Q)coastlands securely; and they will know that I am Yahweh.

Judgment on Gog
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. 19 For (A)in My jealousy (B)and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: (C)‘Surely in that day there shall be a great [a]earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that (D)the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. (E)The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will (F)call for (G)a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. (H)“Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will (I)bring him to judgment with (J)pestilence and bloodshed; (K)I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, (L)great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and (M)sanctify Myself, (N)and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’
Gog’s Armies Destroyed
39 “And (O)you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, [b]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; 2 and I will (P)turn you around and lead you on, (Q)bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel. 3 Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 (R)You shall [c]fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; (S)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall [d]fall on [e]the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God. 6 (T)“And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live [f]in security in (U)the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
