, which hath begun to
possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth.
38:13. Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and all the lions
thereof shall say to thee: Art thou come to take spoils? behold, thou
hast gathered thy multitude to take a prey, to take silver, and gold,
and to carry away goods and substance, and to take rich spoils.
38:14. Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: Thus saith
the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel
shall dwell securely?
38:15. And thou shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts,
thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great
company and a mighty army.
38:16. And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to
cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee
upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified
in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
38:17. Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken
in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who
prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them.
38:18. And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming
of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation
shall come up in my wrath.
38:19. And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that
in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel:
38:20. So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the
beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved
at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
38:21. And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains,
saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be pointed against his
brother.
38:22. And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with
violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon
him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him.
38:23. And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be
known in the eyes of many nations and they shall know that I am the
Lord.
