Ezekiel 38:17-39:6

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ “‘This is what the Lord God says: ·You are [^LAre you…?] the one about whom I spoke in ·past [former] days. I spoke through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for many years that I would bring you against them. ¹⁸ This is what will happen: On the day Gog ·attacks [comes against] the land of Israel, ·I will become very angry [my wrath/fury will mount up/be aroused], says the Lord God. ¹⁹ With ·jealousy [zeal] and ·great anger [fiery wrath] I tell you that ·at that time [on that day] there will surely be a great earthquake in Israel. ²⁰ The fish of the sea, the birds of the ·sky [heavens], the wild ·animals [beasts], everything that crawls on the ground, and all the people on the earth will ·shake with fear [tremble; quake] before me. Also the mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground. ²¹ Then I will call for a ·war [^Lsword] against Gog on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Everyone’s sword will ·attack the soldier next to him [^Lbe against his brother]. ²² I will ·punish [execute judgment on] Gog with ·disease [plague; pestilence] and ·death [bloodshed]. I will send a heavy rain with hailstones and ·burning sulfur [brimstone] on Gog, his ·army [hordes], and the many nations with him. ²³ Then I will show how great I am. I will show my holiness, and I will make myself known ·to the many nations that watch [^Lin the eyes of many nations]. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’

The Death of Gog and His Army

39 “·Human [^TSon of man; 2:1], prophesy against Gog and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says: I am against you, Gog, chief ·ruler [prince] of Meshech and Tubal [38:2]. ² I will turn you around and ·lead [drag; or drive] you. I will bring you from the ·far [remotest] north and send you to attack the mountains of Israel. ³ I will knock your bow out of your left hand and ·throw down [make fall] your arrows from your right hand. ⁴ You, all your troops, and the nations with you will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. I will let you be ·food for [devoured by] every bird ·that eats meat [of prey; Rev. 19:21] and for every ·wild animal [beast of the field]. ⁵ You will ·lie fallen on the ground [fall in the open field], because I have spoken, says the Lord God. ⁶ I will send fire on Magog and those who live in safety on the coastlands. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
