"Ezekiel 38:1-11"
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land
of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee
back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all
thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts [of
armour, even] a great company [with] bucklers and shields, all of them
handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with
shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the
north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee. Be thou
prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled
unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought
back from the sword, [and is] gathered out of many people, against the
mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth
out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. Thou shalt
ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land,
thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. Thus saith the Lord
GOD; It shall also come to pass, [that] at the same time shall things come
into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought: And thou shalt say,
I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are
at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having
neither bars nor gates,
