You will be ae like a cloud covering the land, you and all your af hordes, and many peoples with you. 10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day ag thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against ah the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon ai the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against aj the waste places that are now inhabited, and ak the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, al who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 am Sheba and an Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all ao its leaders

will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’ 14 “Therefore aq son of man, prophesy, and say to ar Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are as dwelling securely at will you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of au the uttermost parts of the north, you and av many peoples with you, aw all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, ax like a cloud covering the land. ay In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, az I vindicate my holiness before their eyes. 17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you ba he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, bb my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For bc in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day bd there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 be The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth bf shall quake at my presence.
