¹ ויהי דבר־יהוה אלי לאמר׃

² בן־אדם שים פניך אל־גוג ארץ המגוג נשיא ראש משך ותבל והנבא עליו׃

³ ואמרת כה אמר אדני יהוה הנני אליך גוג נשיא ראש משך ותבל׃

⁴ ושובבתיך ונתתי חחים בלחייך והוצאתי אותך ואת־כל־חילך סוסים ופרשים לבשי מכלול כלם קהל רב צנה ומגן תפשי חרבות כלם׃

⁵ פרס כוש ופוט אתם כלם מגן וכובע׃

⁶ גמר וכל־אגפיה בית תוגרמה ירכתי צפון ואת־כל־אגפיו עמים רבים אתך׃

⁷ הכן והכן לך אתה וכל־קהלך הנקהלים עליך והיית להם למשמר׃

⁸ מימים רבים תפקד באחרית השנים תבוא אל־ארץ משובבת מחרב מקבצת מעמים רבים על הרי ישראל אשר־היו לחרבה תמיד והיא מעמים הוצאה וישבו לבטח כלם׃

⁹ ועלית כשאה תבוא כעןן לכסות הארץ תהיה אתה וכל־אגפיך ועמים רבים אותך׃ ס

¹⁰ כה אמר אדני יהוה והיה ביום ההוא יעלו דברים על־לבבך וחשבת מחשבת רעה׃

¹¹ ואמרת אעלה על־ארץ פרזות אבוא השקטים ישבי לבטח כלם ישבים באין חומה ובריח ודלתים אין להם׃

¹² לשלל שלל ולבז בז להשיב ידך על־חרבות נושבת ואל־עם מאסף מגוים עשה מקנה וקנין ישבי על־טבור הארץ׃

¹³ שבא ודדן וסחרי תרשיש וכל־כפריה יאמרו לך הלשלל שלל אתה בא הלבז בז הקהלת קהלך לשאת כסף וזהב לקחת מקנה וקנין לשלל שלל גדול׃ ס

¹⁴ לכן הנבא בן־אדם ואמרת לגוג כה אמר אדני יהוה הלוא ביום ההוא בשבת עמי ישראל לבטח תדע׃

¹⁵ ובאת ממקומך מירכתי צפון אתה ועמים רבים אתך רכבי סוסים כלם קהל גדול וחיל רב׃

¹⁶ ועלית על־עמי ישראל כעןן לכסות הארץ באחרית הימים תהיה והבאותיך על־ארצי למען דעת הגוים אתי בהקדשי בך לעיניהם גוג׃ ס

¹⁷ כה־אמר אדני יהוה האתה־הוא אשר־דברתי בימים קדמונים ביד עבדי נביאי ישראל הנבאים בימים ההם שנים להביא אתך עליהם׃ ס

¹⁸ והיה ביום ההוא ביום בוא גוג על־אדמת ישראל נאם אדני יהוה תעלה חמתי באפי׃

¹⁹ ובקנאתי באש־עברתי דברתי אם־לא ביום ההוא יהיה רעש גדול על אדמת ישראל׃

²⁰ ורעשו מפני דגי הים ועוף השמים וחית השדה וכל־הרמש הרמש על־האדמה וכל האדם אשר על־פני האדמה ונהרסו ההרים ונפלו המדרגות וכל־חומה לארץ תפול׃

²¹ וקראתי עליו לכל־הרי חרב נאם אדני יהוה חרב איש באחיו תהיה׃

²² ונשפטתי אתו בדבר ובדם וגשם שוטף ואבני אלגביש אש וגפרית אמטיר עליו ועל־אגפיו ועל־עמים רבים אשר אתו׃

²³ והתגדלתי והתקדשתי ונודעתי לעיני גוים רבים וידעו כי־אני יהוה׃ ס
