Ezekiel 38:1-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Invasion by Gog

38 The word of the Lord came to me: ² Mortal, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him^{(A) 3} and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; ⁴ I will turn you around and put hooks into your jaws, and I will lead you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company, all of them with shield and buckler, wielding swords.^{(B) 5} Paras, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with buckler and helmet;^{(C) 6} Gomer and all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remotest parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples are with you.^(D)

⁷ Be ready and keep ready, you and all the companies that are assembled around you, and take command of them.^{[a] 8} After many days you shall be mustered; in the latter years you shall go against a land restored from war, a land where people were gathered from many nations on the mountains of Israel, which had long lain waste; its people were brought out from the nations and now are living in safety, all of them.^{(E) 9} You shall advance, coming on like a storm; you shall be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.^(F)
