|
1. And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto me H413 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Human, look toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him

3. and say, 'The Lord God says this: I am against you, Gog, chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal.
|
3. And say H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I am against H413 thee , O Gog H1463 , the chief H7218 prince H5387 of Meshech H4902 and Tubal H8422 :

|
4. I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws. And I will bring you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of whom will be dressed in beautiful uniforms. They will be a large army with large and small shields and all having swords.
|
4. And I will turn thee back H7725 , and put H5414 hooks H2397 into thy jaws H3895 , and I will bring thee forth H3318 H853 , and all H3605 thine army H2428 , horses H5483 and horsemen H6571 , all H3605 of them clothed H3847 with all sorts H4358 of armor, even a great H7227 company H6951 with bucklers H6793 and shields H4043 , all H3605 of them handling H8610 swords H2719 :

|
6. Gomer H1586 , and all H3605 his bands H102 ; the house H1004 of Togarmah H8425 of the north H6828 quarters H3411 , and all H3605 his bands H102 : and many H7227 people H5971 with H854 thee.
|
|
7. "'Be prepared. Be prepared, you and all the armies that have come together to make you their commander.
|
7. Be thou prepared H3559 , and prepare H3559 for thyself, thou H859 , and all H3605 thy company H6951 that are assembled H6950 unto H5921 thee , and be H1961 thou a guard H4929 unto them.

|
8. After a long time you will be called for service. After those years you will come into a land that has been rebuilt from war. The people in the land will have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which were empty for a long time. These people were brought out from the nations, and they will all be living in safety.
|
8. After many H7227 days H4480 H3117 thou shalt be visited H6485 : in the latter H319 years H8141 thou shalt come H935 into H413 the land H776 that is brought back H7725 from the sword H4480 H2719 , and is gathered H6908 out of many H7227 people H4480 H5971 , against H5921 the mountains H2022 of Israel H3478 , which H834 have been H1961 always H8548 waste H2723 : but it H1931 is brought forth H3318 out of the nations H4480 H5971 , and they shall dwell H3427 safely H983 all H3605 of them.
|
|
9. You will come like a storm. You, all your troops, and the many nations with you will be like a cloud covering the land.
|
9. Thou shalt ascend H5927 and come H935 like a storm H7722 , thou shalt be H1961 like a cloud H6051 to cover H3680 the land H776 , thou H859 , and all H3605 thy bands H102 , and many H7227 people H5971 with H854 thee.
|
|
10. "'This is what the Lord God says: At that time ideas will come into your mind, and you will think up an evil plan.
|
10. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; It shall also come to pass H1961 , that at the same H1931 time H3117 shall things H1697 come H5927 into H5921 thy mind H3824 , and thou shalt think H2803 an evil H7451 thought H4284 :
|
|
11. You will say, "I will march against a land of towns without walls. I will attack those who are at rest and live in safety. All of them live without city walls or gate bars or gates.
|
11. And thou shalt say H559 , I will go up H5927 to H5921 the land H776 of unwalled villages H6519 ; I will go H935 to them that are at rest H8252 , that dwell H3427 safely H983 , all H3605 of them dwelling H3427 without H369 walls H2346 , and having neither H369 bars H1280 nor gates H1817 ,
|
|
12. I will capture treasures and take loot. I will turn my power against the rebuilt ruins that now have people living in them. I will attack these people who have been gathered from the nations, who have become rich with farm animals and property, who live at the center of the world."
|
12. To take H7997 a spoil H7998 , and to take H962 a prey H957 ; to turn H7725 thine hand H3027 upon H5921 the desolate places H2723 that are now inhabited H3427 , and upon H413 the people H5971 that are gathered H622 out of the nations H4480 H1471 , which have gotten H6213 cattle H4735 and goods H7075 , that dwell H3427 in H5921 the midst H2872 of the land H776 .
|
|
13. Sheba, Dedan, and the traders of Tarshish, with all its villages, will say to you, "Did you come to capture treasure? Did you bring your troops together to take loot? Did you bring them to carry away silver and gold and to take away farm animals and property?"'
|
13. Sheba H7614 , and Dedan H1719 , and the merchants H5503 of Tarshish H8659 , with all H3605 the young lions H3715 thereof , shall say H559 unto thee , Art thou H859 come H935 to take H7997 a spoil H7998 ? hast thou gathered H6950 thy company H6951 to take H962 a prey H957 ? to carry away H5375 silver H3701 and gold H2091 , to take away H3947 cattle H4735 and goods H7075 , to take H7997 a great H1419 spoil H7998 ?
|
|
14. "So prophesy, human, and say to Gog, 'This is what the Lord God says: Now that my people Israel are living in safety, you will know about it.
|
14. Therefore H3651 , son H1121 of man H120 , prophesy H5012 and say H559 unto Gog H1463 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; In that H1931 day H3117 when my people H5971 of Israel H3478 dwelleth H3427 safely H983 , shalt thou not H3808 know H3045 it ?
|
|
15. You will come with many people from your place in the far north. You will have a large group with you, a mighty army, all riding on horses.
|
15. And thou shalt come H935 from thy place H4480 H4725 out of the north H6828 parts H4480 H3411 , thou H859 , and many H7227 people H5971 with H854 thee, all H3605 of them riding H7392 upon horses H5483 , a great H1419 company H6951 , and a mighty H7227 army H2428 :
|
|
16. You will attack my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. This will happen in the days to come when I bring you against my land. Gog, then the nations will know me when they see me prove how holy I am in what I do through you.
|
16. And thou shalt come up H5927 against H5921 my people H5971 of Israel H3478 , as a cloud H6051 to cover H3680 the land H776 ; it shall be H1961 in the latter H319 days H3117 , and I will bring H935 thee against H5921 my land H776 , that H4616 the heathen H1471 may know H3045 me , when I shall be sanctified H6942 in thee , O Gog H1463 , before their eyes H5869 .
|
|
17. "'This is what the Lord God says: You are the one about whom I spoke in past days. I spoke through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for many years that I would bring you against them.
|
17. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Art thou H859 he H1931 of whom H834 I have spoken H1696 in old H6931 time H3117 by H3027 my servants H5650 the prophets H5030 of Israel H3478 , which prophesied H5012 in those H1992 days H3117 many years H8141 that I would bring H935 thee against H5921 them?
|
|
18. This is what will happen: On the day Gog attacks the land of Israel, I will become very angry, says the Lord God.
|
18. And it shall come to pass H1961 at the same H1931 time H3117 when H3117 Gog H1463 shall come H935 against H5921 the land H127 of Israel H3478 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 , that my fury H2534 shall come up H5927 in my face H639 .
|
|
19. With jealousy and great anger I tell you that at that time there will surely be a great earthquake in Israel.
|
19. For in my jealousy H7068 and in the fire H784 of my wrath H5678 have I spoken H1696 , Surely H518 H3808 in that H1931 day H3117 there shall be H1961 a great H1419 shaking H7494 in H5921 the land H127 of Israel H3478 ;
|
|
20. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild animals, everything that crawls on the ground, and all the people on the earth will shake with fear before me. Also the mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
|
20. So that the fishes H1709 of the sea H3220 , and the fowls H5775 of the heaven H8064 , and the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 , and all H3605 creeping things H7431 that creep H7430 upon H5921 the earth H127 , and all H3605 the men H120 that H834 are upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 , shall shake H7493 at my presence H4480 H6440 , and the mountains H2022 shall be thrown down H2040 , and the steep places H4095 shall fall H5307 , and every H3605 wall H2346 shall fall H5307 to the ground H776 .
|
|
21. Then I will call for a war against Gog on all my mountains, says the Lord God. Everyone's sword will attack the soldier next to him.
|
21. And I will call for H7121 a sword H2719 against H5921 him throughout all H3605 my mountains H2022 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 : every man H376 's sword H2719 shall be H1961 against his brother H251 .
|
|
22. I will punish Gog with disease and death. I will send a heavy rain with hailstones and burning sulfur on Gog, his army, and the many nations with him.
|
22. And I will plead H8199 against H854 him with pestilence H1698 and with blood H1818 ; and I will rain H4305 upon H5921 him , and upon H5921 his bands H102 , and upon H5921 the many H7227 people H5971 that H834 are with H854 him , an overflowing H7857 rain H1653 , and great hailstones H68 H417 , fire H784 , and brimstone H1614 .
|
|
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. Then they will know that I am the Lord.'
|
23. Thus will I magnify myself H1431 , and sanctify myself H6942 ; and I will be known H3045 in the eyes H5869 of many H7227 nations H1471 , and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
