The mountains will topple, the cliffs will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground. 21 I will call for a sword to attack Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD; every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 I will judge him with plague and bloodshed. I will rain down on him, his troops and the many peoples who are with him a torrential downpour, hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 I will exalt and magnify myself; I will reveal myself before many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’ 1 “As for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say:‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
