8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, on the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste; but it is brought out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.
From days many you will be mustered at [the] end of the years you will go - into a land - restored from [the] sword gathered together from peoples many on [the] mountains of Israel which they had become a desolation continually and it from peoples it had been brought out and they will be dwelling to security all of them.

11 You will say, ‘I will go up to the land of unwalled villages. I will go to those who are at rest, who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
And you will say I will go up on a land of villages I will go those at peace [who] dwell to security all of them [are] dwelling with not a wall and bar[s] and gates not [belong] to them.
12 to take the plunder and to take prey; to turn your hand against the waste places that are inhabited, and against the people who are gathered out of the nations, who have gotten livestock and goods, who dwell in the middle of the earth.’
To plunder plunder and to take as spoil spoil to turn hand your on waste places inhabited and against a people gathered from nations [who] have acquired livestock and possession[s] [who] dwell at [the] center of the earth.
13 Sheba, Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all its young lions, will ask you, ‘Have you come to take the plunder? Have you assembled your company to take the prey, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’”’

And you will go up on people my Israel like cloud to cover the land at [the] end of the days it will happen and I will bring you on land my so as to know the nations me when I show holy myself by you to eyes their O Gog.
17 “‘The Lord GOD says: “Are you he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for years that I would bring you against them?
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ [are] you he whom I spoke in days former by [the] hand of servants my [the] prophets of Israel who prophesied in the days those years to bring you on them.
18 It will happen in that day, when Gog comes against Eretz-Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that my wrath will come up into my nostrils.
And it will be - on the day that on [the] day comes Gog on [the] land of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh it will rise rage my in anger my.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there will be a great shaking in Eretz-Israel,
And in jealousy my in [the] fire of wrath my I have spoken if not - on the day that it will be an earthquake great on [the] land of Israel.
20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all creeping things who creep on the earth, and all the men who are on the surface of the earth will shake at my presence. Then the mountains will be thrown down, the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
And they will shake from before me [the] fish of the sea and [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] animal[s] of the field and every creeping thing which creeps on the ground and all humankind which [is] on [the] surface of the ground and they will be thrown down the mountains and they will fall the steep places and every wall to the ground it will fall.
21 I will call for a sword against him to all my mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
And I will summon on him to all mountains my a sword [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh [the] sword of each on brother his it will be.
22 I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence and with blood. I will rain on him, on his hordes, and on the many peoples who are with him, torrential rains with great hailstones, fire, and sulfur.
And I will enter into judgment with him by pestilence and by blood and rain overflowing and stones of hail fire and sulfur I will rain down on him and on troops his and on peoples many which [are] with him.
23 I will magnify myself and sanctify myself, and I will make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”’
And I will show myself great and I will show myself holy and I will make myself known to [the] eyes of nations many and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.
