¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Son¹ of man, set² thy face against Gog³, the land of Magog⁴, the chief prince of⁵ Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am⁶ against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn⁷ thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses⁸ and horsemen, all of them⁹ clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling¹⁰ swords:

Persia¹¹, Ethiopia, and Libya¹² with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

Gomer¹⁴, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah¹⁵ of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

¹⁶Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

After many days¹⁷ thou shalt be¹⁸ visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land¹⁹ that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains²⁰ of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is²¹ brought forth out of the nations, and they shall²² dwell safely all of them.

Thou shalt ascend²³ and come like²⁴ a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy²⁵ bands, and many people with thee.

¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at²⁶ the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought²⁷:

And thou shalt say, I will go up²⁸ to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to²⁹ them that are at rest, that dwell safely³⁰, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

To take a spoil, and to take a prey³¹; to turn³² thine hand upon the desolate³³ places that are now inhabited, and upon³⁴ the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst³⁵ of the land.

Sheba³⁶, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with³⁷ all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

¶ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that³⁸ day when my people of Israel dwelleth³⁹ safely, shalt⁴⁰ thou not know it?

And thou shalt come from thy place⁴¹ out of the north parts, thou, and many⁴² people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud⁴³ to cover the land; it shall be⁴⁴ in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the⁴⁵ heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom⁴⁶ I have spoken in old time by⁴⁷ my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that⁴⁸ my fury shall come up in my face.

For in my⁴⁹ jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely⁵⁰ in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

¶ So that the fishes⁵¹ 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 places⁵² shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

And I will⁵³ call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every⁵⁴ man's sword shall be against his brother.

And I will plead⁵⁵ against him with pestilence⁵⁶ and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing⁵⁷ rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Thus will I magnify⁵⁸ myself, and sanctify myself; and I⁵⁹ will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
