Discovery BoxEzekiel 38:14-18 
Context38:14 “Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, you will take notice 1 38:15 and come from your place, from the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a vast army. 38:16 You will advance 2 against my people Israel like a cloud covering the earth. In the latter days I will bring you against my land so that the nations may acknowledge me, when before their eyes I magnify myself 3 through you, O Gog.
38:17 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days by my servants 4 the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days 5 that I would bring you against them? 38:18 On that day, when Gog invades 6 the land of Israel, declares the sovereign Lord, my rage will mount up in my anger.
1 tn The Hebrew text is framed as a rhetorical question: “will you not take notice?”
2 tn Heb “come up.”
3 tn Or “reveal my holiness.”
4 tn Heb “by the hand of my servants.”
5 tn The Hebrew text adds “years” here, but this is probably a scribal gloss on the preceding phrase. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:201.
6 tn Heb “goes up against.”
