17 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign Lord. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake(A) in the land of Israel.(B) 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble(C) at my presence. The mountains will be overturned,(D) the cliffs will crumble(E) and every wall will fall to the ground.(F) 21 I will summon a sword(G) against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign Lord. Every man’s sword will be against his brother.(H) 22 I will execute judgment(I) on him with plague and bloodshed;(J) I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones(K) and burning sulfur(L) on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him.(M) 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.(N)

39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog(O) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshek(P) and Tubal.(Q) I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north(R) and send you against the mountains of Israel.(S) Then I will strike your bow(T) from your left hand and make your arrows(U) drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds(V) and to the wild animals.(W) You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(X) I will send fire(Y) on Magog(Z) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,(AA) and they will know(AB) that I am the Lord.

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. (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. Then (AB)I will strike your bow from your left hand, and (AC)will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. (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. You shall fall in the open field, for (AH)I have spoken, declares the Lord God. (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.
