1. The word of the Lord came to me:
2. “Son of man, turn your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him
3. and say: This is what the Lord God says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, including horses and riders, who are all splendidly dressed, a huge company armed with shields and bucklers, all of them brandishing swords.
5. Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets;
6. Gomer with all its troops; and Beth-togarmah from the remotest parts of the north along with all its troops — many peoples are with you.
7. “Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and all your company who have been mobilized around you; you will be their guard.
8. After a long time you will be summoned. In the last years you will enter a land that has been restored from war and regathered from many peoples to the mountains of Israel, which had long been a ruin. They were brought out from the peoples, and all of them now live securely.
