3 Say: Thus says the Lord God: See! I am coming against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
4 I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws to lead you out with all your army, horses and riders, all well armed, a great company, all of them with bucklers and shields, carrying swords:
5 Persia, Cush, and Put with them, all with shields and helmets;
6 Gomer and all its troops, Beth-togarmah from the recesses of Zaphon and all its troops—many nations will accompany you.
7 Prepare and get ready, you and the company mobilized for you, but in my service.
8 After many days you will be called to battle; in the last years you will invade a land that has survived the sword—a people gathered from many nations back to the long-deserted mountains of Israel, brought forth from the nations to dwell securely.
9 You shall come up like a sudden storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and the many nations with you.
