Ezekiel 38:16-18
New English Translation
16 You will advance[a] against my people Israel like a cloud covering the earth. In future days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may acknowledge me, when before their eyes I magnify myself[b] through you, O Gog.
17 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants[c] the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days[d] that I would bring you against them? 18 On that day, when Gog invades[e] the land of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord, my rage will mount up in my anger.
