Ezekiel 38 And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying:"

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And there is a word of Yahweh unto me, saying:" ² `Son of man, set your face unto Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning him, ³ and you have said:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Lo, I [am] against you, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, ⁴ And I have turned you back, And I have put hooks in your jaws, And have brought you out, and all your force, Horses and horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords--all of them." ⁵ Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with] shield and helmet." ⁶ Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with you, ⁷ Be prepared, yea, prepare for you, You and all your assemblies who are assembled unto you, And you have been to them for a guard." ⁸ After many days you are appointed, In the latter end of the years you come in unto a land brought back from sword, [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the peoples has been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of them." ⁹ And you have gone up--as wasting you come in, As a cloud to cover the land are you, You and all your bands, and many peoples with you." ¹⁰ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:And it has come to pass in that day, Come up do things on your heart, And you have thought an evil thought, ¹¹ And you have said:I go up against a land of unwalled villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have not." ¹² To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back your hand on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations, Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the land." ¹³ Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its young lions say to you:To take a spoil are you come in? To take a prey assembled your assembly? To bear away silver and gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil? ¹⁴ Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and you have said to Gog:Thus said the Lord Yahweh:In that day, in the dwelling of My people Israel safely, Do you not know? ¹⁵ And you have come in out of your place, From the sides of the north, You and many peoples with you, Riding on horses--all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force." ¹⁶ And you have come up against My people Israel, As a cloud to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I have brought you in against My land, In order that the nations may know Me, In My being sanctified in you before their eyes, O Gog." ¹⁷ Thus said the Lord Yahweh:Are you he of whom I spoke in former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel, Who are prophesying in those days--years, To bring you in against them? ¹⁸ And it has come to pass, in that day, In the day of the coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, Come up does My fury in My face, ¹⁹ And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken:Is there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel? ²⁰ And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the earth falls." ²¹ And I have called against him, to all My mountains a sword, An affirmation of the Lord Yahweh, The sword of each is against his brother." ²² And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples who [are] with him." ²³ And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have known that I [am] Yahweh!"
