¹ And the word of Jehovah was unto^▵ me, saying,

² Son of man, set thy face to^▵ Gog, the land of Magog, the chief, the head of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

³ and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovih^*; Behold, I am against^▵ thee, O Gog, the chief, the head of Meshech and Tubal:

⁴ and I will turn· thee ·back, and put^◦ hooks into thy cheeks, and I will bring· thee ·out, and all thy host, horses and horsemen, all of them perfectly clothed, an assembly of many with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with^◦ them; all of them with shield and helmet;

⁶ Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north flanks, and all his bands; and many people with^◦ thee.

⁷ Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou^◦, and all thine assembly that are assembled unto thee, and be thou for a guard to them.

⁸ After many days thou shalt be visited; in the later years thou shalt come to^▵ the land that is returned from the sword, and is brought·​·together out·​·of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been continually wasted; but she^◦ is brought·​·out from the peoples, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.

⁹ And thou shalt go·​·up as vastation, thou shalt come, as a cloud to cover the land thou shalt be, thou^◦, and all thy bands, and many peoples with^◦ thee.

¹⁰ Thus says the Lord Jehovih: It shall be, in that^◦ day that the words come·​·up in thy heart, and thou shalt think an evil thought;

¹¹ and thou shalt say, I will go·​·up on the land of the countryside; I will come to those who are quiet, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling with no walls, and there are no bars and doors for them,

¹² to spoil for spoil, and to plunder for plunder; to return thy hand on the wastes that are dwelt·​·in, and to^▵ the people gathered from the nations, who have worked with livestock and substance, who dwell upon the navel^* of the land.

¹³ Sheba, and Dedan, and the traders of Tarshish, and all her young·​·lions, shall say to thee, Art thou^◦ come to spoil a spoil? hast thou assembled thine assembly to plunder a plunder, to lift silver and gold, to take livestock and substance, to spoil a great spoil?

¹⁴ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus says the Lord Jehovih; In that^◦ day when My people of Israel dwells securely, shalt thou not know it?

¹⁵ And thou shalt come from thy place out·​·of the north flanks, thou^◦, and many peoples with^◦ thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great assembly, and a host of many:

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, in·​·order·​·that the nations may know Me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before^▫ their eyes.

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord Jehovih: Art thou^◦ he^◦ of whom I have spoken in ancient days by the hand of My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those^◦ days for years that I would bring thee against them?

¹⁸ And it shall be in that^◦ day, in the day Gog shall come against the ground of Israel, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih, that My fury shall go·​·up in My anger.

¹⁹ And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath have I spoken, Surely in that^◦ day there shall be a great quaking upon the ground of Israel;

²⁰ and the fish of the sea, and the fowls of the heavens, and the animals of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the ground, and all of man who is upon the face of the ground, shall quake before My face, and the mountains shall be broken·​·down, and the stairs^◦ shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the earth.

²¹ And I will call for a sword against him throughout all My mountains, says^◦ the Lord Jehovih; a man’s^◦ sword shall be against^◦ his brother.

²² And I will judge against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many peoples that are with^◦ him, an overflowing shower, and great·​·hail stones, fire and sulfur.

²³ And I will magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah.

¹ The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and brought· me ·out in the spirit of Jehovah, and rested me in the midst of the vale and it^◦ was full of bones,

² and caused me to pass by^◦ them all around; and, behold, there were very many on the face of the vale; and behold, they were very dry.

³ And He said unto^▵ me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I said, O Lord Jehovih^*, Thou^◦ knowest.

⁴ And He said unto^▵ me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto^▵ them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah.

⁵ Thus says the Lord Jehovih unto these bones; Behold, I^◦ will cause spirit to come into you, and you shall live;

⁶ and I will put^◦ sinews on you, and will bring·​·up flesh upon you, and cover over you with skin, and put^◦ spirit in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah.

⁷ And I prophesied as^◦ I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a voice, and behold a quaking, and the bones came·​·near, a bone to^▵ its bone.

⁸ And I saw, and behold, sinews and flesh came·​·up on them, and skin covered over them above; but there was no spirit in them.

⁹ And He said unto^▵ me, Prophesy to^▵ the spirit, prophesy, son of man, and say to^▵ the wind, Thus says the Lord Jehovih: Come from the four winds, O spirit^*, and breathe into these that were killed, and they will live.

¹⁰ And I prophesied as^◦ He commanded me, and the spirit came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a very, very great host.

¹¹ And He said to^▵ me, Son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel; behold, they^◦ say, Our bones are dried·​·up, and our hope^◦ is·​·lost; for ourselves we are severed.

¹² Therefore prophesy and say unto^▵ them, Thus says the Lord Jehovih: Behold, O My people, I^◦ will open your graves, and cause you to come·​·up out·​·of your graves, and bring you onto^▵ the ground of Israel.

¹³ And you shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought· you ·up out·​·of your graves,

¹⁴ and shall put^◦ My spirit in you, and you shall live, and I shall place you on your own ground; and you shall know that I^◦, Jehovah, have spoken it, and done it, says^◦ Jehovah.

¹⁵ And the word of Jehovah was unto^▵ me, saying,

¹⁶ And thou^◦, son of man, take for thyself one piece of wood, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel his friends; then take one piece of wood, and write on it, For Joseph, the piece of wood of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his friends:

¹⁷ and bring· them ·near, one to^▵ the other^* one to thee, into one piece of wood, and they shall be one in thy hand.

¹⁸ And when^▵ the sons of thy people shall say unto^▵ thee, saying, Wilt thou not tell us what these mean to thee?

¹⁹ speak to^▵ them, Thus says the Lord Jehovih: Behold, I^◦ will take the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes^◦ of Israel his friends, and will put^◦ them upon him, with^◦ the wood of Judah, and make them one piece of wood, and they shall be one in My hand.

²⁰ And the pieces of wood upon which thou writest shall be in thy hand before^▫ their eyes.

²¹ And speak to^▵ them, Thus says the Lord Jehovih: Behold, I^◦ will take the sons of Israel from among the nations, whither they be gone^◦, and will bring· them ·together all around, and bring them onto^▵ their own ground;

²² and I will make them into one nation in the land upon^◦ the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be for a king to them all; and they shall be no^◦ more^◦ two nations, neither shall they be halved any·​·more into^◦ two kingdoms any·​·more.

²³ Neither shall they make· themselves ·unclean any·​·more with their idols, nor^◦ with their detestable things, nor^◦ with any of their transgressions, but I will save them out·​·of all their dwellingplaces, wherein^◦ they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be to Me for a people, and I^◦ will be to them for a God.

²⁴ And My servant David shall be king over them, and there shall be one shepherd for them all; and they shall walk^◦ in My judgments, and keep My statutes, and do them.

²⁵ And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob My servant, wherein^◦ your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell in it, even they^◦, and their sons, and their sons’ sons to^◦ eternity; and My servant David shall be chief to them to eternity.

²⁶ And I will cut a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an eternal covenant with^◦ them; and I will give them and multiply them, and will put^◦ My sanctuary in their midst to eternity.

²⁷ And My habitation shall be over them; and I will be to them for a God and they^◦ shall be to Me for a people.

²⁸ And the nations shall know that I^◦, Jehovah, shall sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst to eternity.
