1And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2Son of man, set your face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3And say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4And I will turn you back, and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah from the far north, and all his bands: and many people with you.
7Be prepared, and prepare for yourself, you, and all your company that are assembled unto you, and be a guard unto them.
8After 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 always been waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9You 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.
10Thus says the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time, things shall come into your mind, and you shall think an evil thought:
11And you shall say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12To 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, who have acquired cattle and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
