<p class="poetry">they will tear out their hair because of you and put on sackcloth,p> <p class="poetry">and they will weep bitterly over you with intense mourning.<n id="1" />p>

An end comes<n id="1" /> &#8211; the end comes!<n id="2" /> It has awakened against you<n id="3" /> &#8211; the end is upon you! Look, it is coming!<n id="4" />

On that day a fugitive will come to you to report the news.<n id="1" />

&#8220;Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, said to you, &#8216;What are you doing?&#8217;

<p class="poetry">As they wail they will lament over you, chanting:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;Who was like Tyre, like a tower<n id="1" /> in the midst of the sea?&#8221;p>

When your people<n id="1" /> say to you, &#8216;Will you not tell us what these things mean?&#8217;

and say: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look,<n id="1" /> I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.

As for you, son of man, listen to what I am saying to you: Do not rebel like that rebellious house! Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">And he said to me, &#8220;Son of man, take all my words that I speak to you to heart and listen carefully.

Doom is coming upon you who live in the land! The time is coming, the day<n id="1" /> is near. There are sounds of tumult, not shouts of joy, on the mountains.<n id="2" />

All prostitutes receive payment,<n id="1" /> but instead you give gifts to every one of your lovers. You bribe them to come to you from all around for your sexual favors!

and say to them,<n id="1" /> &#8216;This is what the <sc>Lordsc> says: Look,<n id="2" /> I am against you.<n id="3" /> I will draw my sword<n id="4" /> from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.<n id="5" />

I am against<n id="1" /> you and your waterways. I will turn the land of Egypt into an utter desolate ruin from Migdol<n id="2" /> to Syene,<n id="3" /> as far as the border with Ethiopia.

Say to it, &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;&#8216;Look, I am against you, Mount Seir;p> <p class="poetry">I will stretch out my hand against youp> <p class="poetry">and turn you into a desolate ruin.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;As for you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say: &#8216;This is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: Look, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!

<p class="bodytext">He said to me, &#8220;Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your belly with this scroll I am giving to you.&#8221; So I ate it,<n id="1" /> and it was sweet like honey in my mouth.p>

not to many peoples of unintelligible speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand<n id="1" /> &#8211; surely if<n id="2" /> I had sent you to them, they would listen to you!

But the house of Israel is unwilling to listen to you,<n id="1" /> because they are not willing to listen to me,<n id="2" /> for the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.<n id="3" />p>

They come to you in crowds,<n id="1" /> and they sit in front of you as<n id="2" /> my people. They hear your words, but do not obey<n id="3" /> them. For they talk lustfully,<n id="4" /> and their heart is set on<n id="5" /> their own advantage.<n id="6" />

I will no longer subject you to<n id="1" /> the nations&#8217; insults; no longer will you bear the shame of the peoples, and no longer will you bereave<n id="2" /> your nation, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.&#8217;&#8221;p>
