Book 14 : NEVIIM - EZEKIEL - Chapter 038
38:001
And the word of HaShem came unto me, saying
38:002
'Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog,
the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him
38:003
and say: Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Behold, I am against
thee, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal
38:004
and I will turn thee about, and put hooks into thy jaws,
and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of
them clothed most gorgeously, a great company with buckler and shield, all of
them handling swords
38:005
Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with shield
and helmet
38:006
Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah in the
uttermost parts of the north, and all his bands; even many peoples with thee
38:007
Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all
thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou guarded of them
38:008
After many days thou shalt be mustered for service, in the
latter years thou shalt come against the land that is brought back from the
sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, against the mountains of Israel,
which have been a continual waste; but it is brought forth out of the peoples,
and they dwell safely all of them
38:009
And thou shalt ascend, thou shalt come like a storm, thou
shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many
peoples with thee
38:010
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: It shall come to pass in that
day, that things shall come into thy mind, and thou shalt devise an evil device
38:011
and thou shalt say: I will go up against the land of
unwalled villages; I will come upon them that are at quiet, that dwell safely,
all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates
38:012
to take the spoil and to take the prey; to turn thy hand
against the waste places that are now inhabited, and against the people that are
gathered out of the nations, that have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in
the middle of the earth
38:013
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all
the magnates thereof, shall say unto thee: Comest thou to take the spoil? hast
thou assembled thy company to take the prey? to carry away silver and gold, to
take away cattle and goods, to take great spoil
38:014
Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say unto Gog: Thus
saith the L-rd GOD: In that day when My people Israel dwelleth safely, shalt
thou not know it
38:015
And thou shalt come from thy place out of the uttermost
parts of the north, thou, and many peoples with thee, all of them riding upon
horses, a great company and a mighty army
38:016
and thou shalt come up against My people Israel, as a
cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the end of days, and I will bring thee
against My land, that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified
through thee, O Gog, before their eyes
38:017
Thus saith the L-rd GOD: Art thou he of whom I spoke in
old time by My servants the prophets of Israel, that prophesied in those days
for many years, that I would bring thee against them
38:018
And it shall come to pass in that day, when Gog shall come
against the land of Israel, saith the L-rd GOD, that My fury shall arise up in
My nostrils
38:019
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
38:020
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
ground, 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
38:021
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my
mountains, saith the L-rd GOD; every man's sword shall be against his brother
38:022
And I will plead against him with pestilence and with
blood; and I will cause to rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
peoples that are with him, an overflowing shower, and great hailstones, fire,
and brimstone
38:023
Thus will I magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself, and I
will make Myself known in the eyes of many nations; and they shall know that I
am HaShem
