Ezekiel 38:9-23

Ezekiel 38:9-23

[9] 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. [10] Thus saith  the Lord  It shall also come to pass, that at the same time  shall things  come  into thy mind,  and thou shalt think  an evil  thought:  [11] 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,  [12] To take  a spoil,  and to take  a prey;  to turn  thine hand  upon the desolate places  that are now inhabited,  and upon the people  that are gathered  out of the nations,  which have gotten  cattle  and goods,  that dwell  in the midst  of the land.  [13] Sheba,  and Dedan,  and the merchants  of Tarshish,  with all the young lions  thereof, shall say  unto thee, Art thou come  to take  a spoil?  hast thou gathered  thy company  to take  a prey?  to carry away  silver  and gold,  to take away  cattle  and goods,  to take  a great  spoil?  [14] Therefore, son  of man,  prophesy  and say  unto Gog,  Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  In that day  when my people  of Israel  dwelleth  safely,  shalt thou not know  [15] And thou shalt come  from thy place  out of the north  parts,  thou, and many  people  with thee, all of them riding  upon horses,  a great  company,  and a mighty  army:  [16] And thou shalt come up  against my people  of Israel,  as a cloud  to cover  the land;  it shall be in the latter  days,  and I will bring  thee against my land,  that the heathen  may know  me, when I shall be sanctified  in thee, O Gog,  before their eyes.  [17] Thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  Art thou he of whom I have spoken  in old  time  by  my servants  the prophets  of Israel,  which prophesied  in those days  many years  that I would bring  thee against them? [18] And it shall come to pass at the same time  Gog  shall come  against the land  of Israel,  saith  the Lord  GOD,  that my fury  shall come up  in my face.  [19] For in my jealousy  and in the fire  of my wrath  have I spoken,  Surely in that day  there shall be a great  shaking  in the land  of Israel;  [20] So that the fishes  of the sea,  and the fowls  of the heaven,  and the beasts  of the field,  and all creeping things  that creep  upon the earth,  and all the men  that are upon the face  of the earth,  shall shake  at my presence,  and the mountains  shall be thrown down,  and the steep places  shall fall,  and every wall  shall fall  to the ground.  [21] And I will call  for a sword  against him throughout all my mountains,  saith  the Lord  GOD:  every man's  sword  shall be against his brother.  [22] And I will plead  against him with pestilence  and with blood;  and I will rain  upon him, and upon his bands,  and upon the many  people  that are with him, an overflowing  rain,  and great hailstones,  fire,  and brimstone.  [23] Thus will I magnify  myself, and sanctify  myself; and I will be known  in the eyes  of many  nations,  and they shall know  that I am the LORD.
