1. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said,
2. “Son of man, turn to Gog from the land of Magog. He is the chief prince of ⌊the nations of⌋ Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him.
3. Tell him, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4. I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws. I will lead you out with all your military forces, with horses and riders. Your soldiers will be fully armed. They will carry large and small shields and be able to use swords.
5. Persia, Sudan, and Put will be with you. They, too, will have shields and helmets.
6. Gomer will come with all its troops and with the nation of Togarmah from the far north. There will be many armies with you.
7. “‘Be prepared! Be prepared, you and all the soldiers assembled around you. You will be their leader.
