EZEKIEL ยท Chapter 38
38:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
38:2 Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
38:3 And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
38:4 And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I
will bring you forth, and all of your army, horses and horsemen, all of
them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers
and shields, all of them handling swords:
38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield
and helmet:
38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters,
and all his bands: and many people with you.
38:7 Be you prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company
that are assembled unto you, and be you a guard unto them.
38:8 After 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.
38:9 You 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.
38:10 Thus 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:
38:11 And you shall say, I will go up to the land of villages without
protective walls; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely,
all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn your hand upon the
desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered
out of the nations, which have got cattle and goods, that dwell in the
midst of the land.
38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the
young lions thereof, shall say unto 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?
38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says the
Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwells safely, shall you
not know it?
38:15 And you shall come from your place out of the north parts, you,
and many people with you, all of them riding upon horses, a great company,
and a mighty army:
38:16 And 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.
38:17 Thus 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?
38:18 And 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.
38:19 For 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;
38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and
the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon 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.
38:21 And 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.
38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood;
and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people
that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and
brimstone.
38:23 Thus 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.
