Isaiah 54:15
New King James Version
15 Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall (A)fall for your sake.
Isaiah 41:11-16
New King James Version
11 “Behold, all those who were incensed against you
Shall be (A)ashamed and disgraced;
They shall be as nothing,
And those who strive with you shall perish.
12 You shall seek them and not find them—
[a]Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.
13 For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand,
Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
14 “Fear not, you (B)worm Jacob,
You men of Israel!
I will help you,” says the Lord
And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Behold, (C)I will make you into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth;
You shall thresh the mountains and beat them small,
And make the hills like chaff.
16 You shall (D)winnow them, the wind shall carry them away,
And the whirlwind shall scatter them;
You shall rejoice in the Lord,
And (E)glory in the Holy One of Israel.

Ezekiel 38:8-23
New King James Version
8 (A)After many days (B)you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword (C)and gathered from many people on (D)the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them (E)dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming (F)like a storm, covering the (G)land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of (H)unwalled villages; I will (I)go to a peaceful people, (J)who dwell [a]safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, (K)and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 (L)Sheba, (M)Dedan, the merchants (N)of Tarshish, and all (O)their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord God: (P)“On that day when My people Israel (Q)dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 (R)Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may (S)know Me, when I am (T)hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” 17 Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
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 (U)in My jealousy (V)and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: (W)‘Surely in that day there shall be a great [b]earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that (X)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. (Y)The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’ 21 I will (Z)call for (AA)a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord God. (AB)“Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will (AC)bring him to judgment with (AD)pestilence and bloodshed; (AE)I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, (AF)great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and (AG)sanctify Myself, (AH)and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’

The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”

For (I)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
