1. AND THE word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2. Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, of Meshech, and of Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3. And say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince (ruler) of Rosh, of Meshech, and of Tubal.
4. And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you forth and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords–
5. Persia, Cush, and Put or Libya with them, all of them with shield and helmet,
6. Gomer and all his hordes, the house of Togarmah in the uttermost parts of the north and all his hordes–many people are with you.
7. You [Gog] be prepared; yes, prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and you be a guard and a commander for them.
8. After many days you shall be visited and mustered [for service]; in the latter years you shall go against the land that is restored from the ravages of the sword, where people are gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste; but its [people] are brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell securely, all of them. [Isa. 24:22.]
9. You shall ascend and come like a storm; you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your hosts and many people with you.
10. Thus says the Lord God: At the same time thoughts shall come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
