The Prophecy against Gog

38 This message from the Lord came to me: ² “Son of Man, turn your attention toward Gog,^[a] from the land of Magog,^[b] leader of the head^[c] of Meshech,^[d] and of Tubal.^[e] Prophesy this against him: ³ ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Watch out! I’m coming after you, Gog, leader of the head^[f] of Meshech,^[g] and of Tubal.^{[h] 4} I’m going to turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you out—you and your whole army—along with your horses and cavalry riders, all of them richly attired, a magnificent company replete with buckler and shield, and all of them wielding battle swords. ⁵ Persia,^[i] Cush,^[j] and Libya^[k] will be accompanying them, all of them equipped with shields and helmets. ⁶ Gomer^[l] with all its troops, and the household of Togarmah^[m] from the remotest parts of the north with all its troops—many people will accompany you.
