The book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 38, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 38 Vulgate

   1 Et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens:
   2 "Fili hominis, pone faciem tuam contra Gog, in terra Magog, principem summum Mosoch et Thubal, et vaticinare de eo
   3 et dices: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te, Gog, principem summum Mosoch et Thubal,
   4 et circumagam te et ponam uncos in maxillis tuis et educam te et omnem exercitum tuum, equos et equites vestitos perfecte universos, multitudinem magnam cum scuto et clipeo arripientes gladium.
   5 Persae, Chus et Phut cum eis, omnes scutati et galeati;
   6 Gomer et universa agmina eius, domus Thogorma de extremo aquilone et totum robur eius, populi multi tecum.
   7 Praepara et instrue te et omnem multitudinem tuam, quae coacervata est ad te, et esto mihi in custodiam.
   8 Post dies multos evocaberis; in novissimo annorum venies ad terram, quae reversa est a gladio, congregata est de populis multis ad montes Israel, qui fuerunt deserti iugiter: haec de populis educta est, et habitant in ea confidenter universi.
   9 Ascendens autem quasi tempestas venies, quasi nubes, ut operias terram, tu et omnia agmina tua et populi multi tecum.
   10 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: In die illa ascendent sermones super cor tuum, et cogitabis cogitationem pessimam
   11 et dices: "Ascendam ad terram absque muro, veniam ad quiescentes habitantesque secure; hi omnes habitant sine muro, vectes et portae non sunt eis";
   12 ut diripias spolia et capias praedam, ut inferas manum tuam super deserta iterum inhabitata et super populum, qui est congregatus ex gentibus, qui acquisivit pecora et substantiam et habitat in umbilico terrae.
   13 Saba et Dedan et negotiatores Tharsis et omnes principes eius dicent tibi: "Numquid ad sumenda spolia tu venis? Numquid ad diripiendam praedam congregasti multitudinem tuam, ut tollas argentum et aurum, auferas pecora atque substantiam et diripias manubias infinitas?".
   14 Propterea vaticinare, fili hominis, et dices ad Gog: Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Numquid non in die illo, cum habitaverit populus meus Israel confidenter, consurges?
   15 Et venies de loco tuo ab extremo aquilone, tu et populi multi tecum, ascensores equorum universi, coetus magnus et exercitus vehemens.
   16 Et ascendes super populum meum Israel quasi nubes, ut operias terram. In novissimis diebus erit, et adducam te super terram meam, ut sciant gentes me, cum sanctificatus fuero in te in oculis eorum, o Gog.
   17 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Tu ergo ille es, de quo locutus sum in diebus antiquis in manu servorum meorum prophetarum Israel, qui prophetaverunt in diebus illis per annos, ut adducerem te super eos.
   18 Et erit in die illa, in die adventus Gog super terram Israel, ait Dominus Deus, ascendet indignatio mea in furore meo.
   19 Et in zelo meo, in igne irae meae locutus sum: In die illa erit commotio magna super terram Israel,
   20 et commovebuntur a facie mea pisces maris et volucres caeli et bestiae agri et omne reptile, quod movetur super humum, cunctique homines, qui sunt super faciem terrae; et subvertentur montes, et cadent rupes, et omnis murus in terram corruet.
   21 Et convocabo adversus eum in cunctis montibus meis gladium, ait Dominus Deus; gladius uniuscuiusque in fratrem suum dirigetur.
   22 Et iudicabo eum peste et sanguine et imbre vehementi et lapidibus grandinis; ignem et sulphur pluam super eum et super exercitum eius et super populos multos, qui sunt cum eo,
   23 et magnificabor et sanctificabor et notus ero in oculis multarum gentium, et scient quia ego Dominus.

King James Version

   1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
   3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
   4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
   5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
   6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
   7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
   8 ¶ After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
   9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
   10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
   11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
   12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
   13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
   14 ¶ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
   15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
   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, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
   17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
   18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
   19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
   20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
   21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
   22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
   23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
