“Say!
Thus says Yahweh God!
‘I am against you!
O Gog!
Chief prince
Of Meshech
With Tubal.
I will turn you around!
I will put hooks
Into your jaws.
I will lead you out
With all your army,
Horses,
Horsemen,
All clothed
In full armor,
A great company,
All of them
With bucklers,
With shields,
Wielding swords.’”
Yahweh wanted Ezekiel to give Gog a message. How he was going to do this is not clear. Nevertheless, Yahweh God was against Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Yahweh was going to turn back Gog and put hooks into his jaws. This was not only going to happen to him, but also his whole army, their horses, their cavalry, their armored soldiers, and those with bucklers, shields, and swords. No one would be spared.
