3. and say: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Put are with them, all of them with shields and helmets.

7. “‘Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies assembled around you, and be a guard for them.
