1 耶和華的話臨到我說：

2 人子啊，你要面向瑪各地的歌革，就是羅施、米設、土巴的王發預言攻擊他，

3 說主耶和華如此說：羅施、米設、土巴的王歌革啊，我與你為敵。

4 我必用鉤子鉤住你的腮頰，調轉你，將你和你的軍兵、馬匹、馬兵帶出來，都披掛整齊，成了大隊，有大小盾牌，各拿刀劍。

5 波斯人、古實人，和弗人（又作呂彼亞人），各拿盾牌，頭上戴盔；

6 歌篾人和他的軍隊，北方極處的陀迦瑪族和他的軍隊，這許多國的民都同著你。

7 那聚集到你這裡的各隊都當準備；你自己也要準備，作他們的大帥。

8 過了多日，你必被差派。到末後之年，你必來到脫離刀劍從列國收回之地，到以色列常久荒涼的山上；但那從列國中招聚出來的必在其上安然居住。

9 你和你的軍隊，並同著你許多國的民，必如暴風上來，如密雲遮蓋地面。

10 主耶和華如此說：到那時，你心必起意念，圖謀惡計，

11 說：我要上那無城牆的鄉村，我要到那安靜的民那裡，他們都沒有城牆，無門、無閂，安然居住。

12 我去要搶財為擄物，奪貨為掠物，反手攻擊那從前荒涼、現在有人居住之地，又攻擊那住世界中間、從列國招聚、得了牲畜財貨的民。

13 示巴人、底但人、他施的客商，和其間的少壯獅子都必問你說：你來要搶財為擄物麼？你聚集軍隊要奪貨為掠物麼？要奪取金銀，擄去牲畜、財貨麼？要搶奪許多財寶為擄物麼？

14 人子啊，你要因此發預言，對歌革說，主耶和華如此說：到我民以色列安然居住之日，你豈不知道麼？

15 你必從本地，從北方的極處率領許多國的民來，都騎著馬，乃一大隊極多的軍兵。

16 歌革啊，你必上來攻擊我的民以色列，如密雲遮蓋地面。末後的日子，我必帶你來攻擊我的地，到我在外邦人眼前，在你身上顯為聖的時候，好叫他們認識我。

17 主耶和華如此說：我在古時藉我的僕人以色列的先知所說的，就是你麼？當日他們多年預言我必帶你來攻擊以色列人。

18 主耶和華說：歌革上來攻擊以色列地的時候，我的怒氣要從鼻孔裡發出。

19 我發憤恨和烈怒如火說：那日在以色列地必有大震動，

20 甚至海中的魚、天空的鳥、田野的獸，並地上的一切昆蟲，和其上的眾人，因見我的面就都震動；山嶺必崩裂，陡巖必塌陷，牆垣都必坍倒。

21 主耶和華說：我必命我的諸山發刀劍來攻擊歌革；人都要用刀劍殺害弟兄。

22 我必用瘟疫和流血的事刑罰他。我也必將暴雨、大雹與火，並硫磺降與他和他的軍隊，並他所率領的眾民。

23 我必顯為大，顯為聖，在多國人的眼前顯現；他們就知道我是耶和華。

53. 25. A day of cloud and thick darkness (Ezekiel 34:12).

(I will make Mount Seir and the cities thereof into a waste and devastation, into a waste of eternity (Ezekiel 35:3-4, 7, 9, 12, 14-15).

Then the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built (Ezekiel 36:10).

When I shall sanctify Myself among you, then I will give you a new heart, and I will give a new spirit in the midst of you and I will take away the heart of stone, and will give you a heart of flesh, and I will give a new spirit in your midst, and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God (Ezekiel 36:23, 26-28).

In the day that I have cleansed you from all your iniquities, I will make you to dwell in cities, and the waste places shall be built; they shall say, This land that was devastated is become as the garden of Eden, and the desolate and devastated cities are fortified and inhabited (Ezekiel 36:33-38).

Behold I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and I will lead you upon the land of Israel, and I will put my spirit in you that ye may live (Ezekiel 37:12-14). Concerning the dry bones: by the inflowing of the breath among them, and their living again, regeneration is described.

After many days thou shalt be visited, and in the latter days they shall come upon the land that was made a waste (Ezekiel 38:8, 16).

They shall bury Gog in the day in which I shall be glorified (Ezekiel 39:11-12, 13). Gog is one who is in external worship, but not in internal.

That the name of the city is, Jehovah there (48:35).
