“As for you, O son of man, prophesy against Gog and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

2 I will turn you around, drive you along, bring you up from the far north, and send you against the mountains of Israel.

3 Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and dash down the arrows from your right hand.
