Ezekiel 38:9-39:10 Thou shalt come up like a stormy weather to cover the land, and as it were a dark cloud: thou with all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with thee.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Thou shalt come up like a stormy weather to cover the land, and as it were a dark cloud: thou with all thine hosts, and a great multitude of people with thee. ¹⁰ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD God: At the same time shall many things come into thy mind, so that thou shalt imagine mischief, ¹¹ and say, 'I will up to yonder plain land, seeing they sit at ease, and dwell so safely - for they dwell all without any walls, they have neither bars nor doors - ¹² to spoil them, to rob them, to lay hand upon their so well inhabited wildernesses: against that people, that is gathered together from among the Heathen, which have gotten cattle and good, and dwell in the midst of the land.' ¹³ Then shall Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish with all their worthies, say unto thee, 'Art thou come to rob? Hast thou gathered thy people together, because thou wilt spoil? To take silver and gold; to carry away cattle and goods; and to have a great prey?' ¹⁴ "Therefore, O thou son of man, thou shalt prophesy, and say unto Gog, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: In that day thou shalt know, that my people of Israel dwelleth safe: ¹⁵ and shalt come from thy place out of the north parts: thou and much people with thee, which ride upon horses, whereof there is a great multitude and an innumerable sortie. ¹⁶ Yea, thou shalt come upon my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. This shall come to pass in the latter days: I will bring thee up into my land, that the Heathen may know me, when I get me honour upon thee; O Gog, before their eyes. ¹⁷ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Thou art he, of whom I have spoken afore time by my servants the prophets of Israel; which prophesied, in those days and years, that I should bring thee upon them. ¹⁸ At the same time, when Gog cometh up into the land of Israel, sayeth the LORD God, shall my indignation go forth in my wrath. ¹⁹ For in my jealousy and hot displeasure I have devised that there shall be a great trouble in the land of Israel at that time. ²⁰ The very fishes in the sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the field, and all the men that are upon the earth shall tremble for fear of me. The hills also shall be turned upside down, the stairs of stone shall fall, and all walls shall sink to the ground: ²¹ I will call for a sword upon them in all my mountains, sayeth the LORD God: so that every man's sword shall be upon another. ²² With pestilence and blood will I punish him: stormy rain and hail stones, fire and brimstone, will I cause to rain upon him and all his heap, yea and upon all that great people that is with him. ²³ Thus will I be magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen: that they may be sure how that I am the LORD.'" ³⁹ ¹ Therefore, O thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and speak, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, O Gog: thou chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, I will upon thee, ² and turn thee about, and carry thee forth, and lead thee from the north parts, and bring thee up to the mountains of Israel. ³ As for thy bow, I will smite it out of thy left hand, and cast thine arrows out of thy righthand. ⁴ Thou with all thine heap, and all the people that is with thee, must fall upon the mountains of Israel. Then will I give thee unto the fouls and wild beasts of the field, to be devoured. ⁵ There must thou lie upon the field: for even I the LORD have spoken it, sayeth the LORD God. ⁶ Into Magog, and among those that sit so carelessly in the isles, will I send a fire, and they shall know, that I am the LORD. ⁷ I will make also the name of my holiness to be known among my people of Israel: and I will not let my holy name be evil spoken of any more: but the very Heathen also shall know that I am the LORD, the holy one of Israel. ⁸ "'Behold, it cometh, and shall be fulfilled indeed, sayeth the LORD God: This is the day whereof I have spoken. ⁹ They that dwell in the cities of Israel, shall go forth and set fire upon the weapons, and burn them: shields and spears, bows and arrows, bills and clubs: ¹⁰ seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, sayeth the LORD God.
