Ezekiel 38:12-21 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. in order to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against ruins now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have been acquiring cattle and possessions and who live at the center of the world.’

13. Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its rulers will ask you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hordes to carry off plunder, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions, to seize great spoil? ’

14. “Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: This is what the Lord God says: On that day when My people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know this

15. and come from your place in the remotest parts of the north — you and many peoples with you, who are all riding horses — a mighty horde, a huge army?

16. You will advance against My people Israel like a cloud covering the land. It will happen in the last days, Gog, that I will bring you against My land so that the nations may know Me, when I show Myself holy through you in their sight.

17. “This is what the Lord God says: Are you the one I spoke about in former times through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who for years prophesied in those times that I would bring you against them?

18. Now on that day, the day when Gog comes against the land of Israel” — this is the declaration of the Lord God — “My wrath will flare up.

19. I swear in My zeal and fiery rage: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

20. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, every creature that crawls on the ground, and every human being on the face of the earth will tremble before Me. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.

21. I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains” — the declaration of the Lord God — “and every man’s sword will be against his brother.
