1. The Lord’s word came to me:
2. Human one, face Gog in the land of Magog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy concerning him
3. and say, The Lord God proclaims: I challenge you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
4. I will turn you about, set hooks in your jaws, and lead you out, you and all your army, horses and riders, handsomely dressed, all of them, a great assembly, with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords.
5. Persia, Cush, and Put are with you, all of them equipped with shield and helmet.
6. Gomer and all his troops, Beth-togarmah from the far north and all his troops; many peoples are with you.
7. Stand ready and be prepared, you and all your assembly. You will watch out for those who gather against you.
8. After many days you will be called out. In future years you will enter a country that has been freed from the sword, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had become a perpetual ruin. This country was brought out from the peoples, and all of them live securely.
9. You will invade like a sudden storm. You and all your troops, and the many peoples with you, will be like clouds covering the earth.
10. The Lord God proclaims: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
