1Yahweh's message came to me, saying,
2“Son of Man, look toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him.
3Say, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says: Listen, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, I am against you.
4I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and lead you out with your entire army—horses and horsemen, all of them fully armed, a huge company with large and small shields, all of them carrying swords.
5Persia, Cush, and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets.
6Gomer and all his troops, and the people of Togarmah from the far north and all their troops—many nations will be with you.
7Get ready, and prepare yourself, you and all the companies gathered around you, and be a guard for them.
8After many days you will be called to action. In the last years, you will invade a land that has been restored from war, whose people have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which were always desolate. But these people have been brought out from the nations, and they all live securely.
9You will attack, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops and many nations with you.’
10This is what the Lord Yahweh says: ‘On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will plan an evil scheme.
11You will say, “I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will attack those who are at peace and living securely, all of them living without walls, and having no gates or bars.”
12You will intend to plunder and raid, to attack the rebuilt ruins now inhabited, and a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions, and who live in the center of the world.’
13Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all their young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to plunder? Have you assembled your army to raid? To carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and possessions, to seize a great amount of loot?’
14Therefore, Son of Man, prophesy and tell Gog, ‘This is what the Lord Yahweh says: On that day when my people Israel live securely, will you not know it?
15You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a huge army and a mighty force.
16You will come against my people Israel like a cloud covering the land. In the last days, I will bring you against my land so that the nations will know me when I, Gog, show my holiness through you before their eyes.
17The Lord Yahweh says: Are you the one I spoke about long ago through my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18The Lord Yahweh says: On that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, my anger will flare up.
19In my furious jealousy, I have declared that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20As a result, the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the wild animals, all creatures that crawl on the earth, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will collapse to the ground.
21The Lord Yahweh says, "I will call for war against him throughout all my mountains; every man will fight against his brother."
22I will judge him with disease and bloodshed. I will rain down on him and his armies and the many nations with him a torrential downpour, large hailstones, fire, and sulfur.
23I will show my greatness and holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
