38 This word from the O Eternal came to me: 2 “Son of man, turn to Gog [[in the land of Magog]], the prince of Bosh and Meshek and Tubal; 3 prophesy against him and tell him this from the Lord the Eternal: ‘O Gog, prince of Rosh and Meshek and Tubal, I am against you. 4 I will bring you along, with all your army, horses and horsemen, in full armour, a mighty host all armed with shields and targes and all wielding swords, 5 warriors from Persia, Kush, and Put, equipped with targes and helmets, 6 all the hordes of the Cimmerians, all the hordes from Armenia in the far north, and many another nation in your train. 7 Be ready, hold yourself ready, you and all your muster, hold yourself in reserve for me! 8 You [[shall be summoned after many a day, and after many a year you]] shall attack the land that has been restored from desolation, the nation that has been gathered home from many a people, the uplands of Israel, once a perpetual waste but now held by a nation gathered home from the peoples and living all undisturbed. 9 You shall sweep up like a storm, covering the country like a storm-cloud, you and all your hordes and all the nations in your train. 10 A plan will occur to your mind, says the Lord the Eternal; you will concoct an evil design, 11 thinking, “I will invade this land of villages, I will attack this quiet folk who are all living in security, with never a wall or a bar or a gate.” 12 You will plan to get booty, to seize your prey, to assail re-peopled wastes, where a people gathered from the nations are living with their stores of cattle and property at the centre of the earth. 13 The merchants of Sheba and Dedan, the traders of Tartessus, will be all asking you, “Is it for booty you have come? Have you mustered for plunder, to carry off silver and gold, to seize cattle and property, to win rich booty?” ’

14 Prophesy therefore to Gog, son of man, tell him this from the Lord the Eternal: ‘When my people Israel are living undisturbed, 15 will you bestir yourself and leave your seat in the far north, you and many a nation with you, all mounted on horseback, a mighty host, a huge army, sweeping up, after many a day, 16 against my people Israel like a storm-cloud to cover the country? Yes, I will indeed bring you against my land, to let the nations learn what I am, when I show them my dread divinity in handling you, O Gog.’ 17 The Lord the Eternal proclaims: ‘It is you of whom I predicted long ago by my servants the prophets of Israel (who prophesied for many a year then), that I would bring on your attack.’ 18 The Lord the Eternal declares: ‘On that day, the day when Gog invades the land of Israel, my fury will be roused; 19 yes, in my indignation, in my hot anger, I decree that on that day there shall be a mighty earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 when all fish in the sea, and wild birds, wild beasts, reptiles, and human beings, shall all tremble at my presence, when mountains shall be torn apart, and cliffs topple over, and every wall drop to the ground. 21 I will summon an utter panic against him, says the Lord the Eternal, till every man in his host shall draw the sword against his fellow; 22 I will punish him with pestilence and bloodshed, I will rain on him and his hordes and all the nations in his train an overpowering flood, with hail-stones, fire, and brimstone. 23 I will let all the nations see my might and dread divinity--to teach them that I am the Eternal.’
