9. You shall come up like a sudden storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and the many nations with you.
10. Thus says the Lord God: On that day thoughts shall cross your mind, and you shall devise an evil plan.
11. You will say, “I will invade a land of open villages and attack a peaceful people who live in security—all of them living without city walls, bars, or gates”—
12. in order to plunder and pillage, turning your hand against resettled ruins, against a people gathered from the nations, a people whose concern is cattle and goods, dwelling at the center of the earth.
13. Sheba and Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish and all its “young lions” shall ask you: “Have you come here to plunder? Have you summoned your army for pillage, to carry off silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to seize much plunder?”
14. Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: Thus says the Lord God: On that day, when my people Israel dwell securely, will you not take action,
15. leaving your base in the recesses of Zaphon, you and many nations with you, all mounted on horses, a great company, a mighty army?
16. You shall rise up over my people Israel like a cloud covering the land. In those last days, I will let you invade my land so that the nations acknowledge me, when in their sight I show my holiness through you, Gog.
17. Thus says the Lord God: About you I spoke in earlier times through my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied at that time that I would let you invade them.
18. But on that day, the day Gog invades the land of Israel—oracle of the Lord God—my fury will flare up in my anger,
19. and in my jealousy, with fiery wrath, I swear on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
