Ezekiel 38:1-10

1 The word of ADONAI came to me:
2 "Human being, turn your face toward Gog (of the land of Magog), chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval; and prophesy against him.
3 Say that Adonai ELOHIM says, 'I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval.
4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all completely equipped, a great horde with breastplates and shields, all wielding swords.
5 Paras, Ethiopia and Put are with them, all with breastplates and helmets;
6 Gomer with all its troops; the house of Togarmah in the far reaches of the north, with all its troops - many peoples are with you.
7 Prepare yourself, get ready, you and all your crowd gathered around you; and take charge of them.
8 After many days have passed, you will be mustered for service; in later years you will invade the land which has been brought back from the sword, gathered out of many peoples, the mountains of Isra'el. They had been lying in ruins for a long time, but now Isra'el has been extracted from the peoples and all of them are living there securely.
9 You will come up like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land - you and all your troops, and many other peoples with you.'
10 "Adonai ELOHIM says: 'When that day comes, thoughts will well up in your mind, and you will devise a sinister scheme.
