38Ezekiel 38

1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,Select Ezekiel 38:1

2Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,Select Ezekiel 38:2

3And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:Select Ezekiel 38:3

4And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:Select Ezekiel 38:4

5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:Select Ezekiel 38:5

6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with you.Select Ezekiel 38:6

7Be you prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled to you, and be you a guard to them. ¶Select Ezekiel 38:7

8After many days you shall be visited: in the latter years you shall come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.Select Ezekiel 38:8

9You shall ascend and come like a storm, you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you, and all your bands, and many people with you.Select Ezekiel 38:9

10Thus says the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into your mind, and you shall think an evil thought:Select Ezekiel 38:10

11And you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,Select Ezekiel 38:11

12To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn your hand on the desolate places that are now inhabited, and on the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the middle of the land.Select Ezekiel 38:12

13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say to you, Are you come to take a spoil? have you gathered your company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil? ¶Select Ezekiel 38:13

14Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shall you not know it?Select Ezekiel 38:14

15And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you, and many people with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company, and a mighty army:Select Ezekiel 38:15

16And you shall come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring you against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.Select Ezekiel 38:16

17Thus says the Lord GOD; Are you he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring you against them?Select Ezekiel 38:17

18And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, says the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.Select Ezekiel 38:18

19For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;Select Ezekiel 38:19

20So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the men that are on the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.Select Ezekiel 38:20

21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, says the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.Select Ezekiel 38:21

22And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain on him, and on his bands, and on the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.Select Ezekiel 38:22

23Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.Select Ezekiel 38:23
