אחרית הימים בראי הדורות: מחזון יחזקאל ועד גרטה תונברג...

(1) The word of the LORD came to me: (2) O mortal, turn your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him (3) and say: Thus said the Lord GOD: Lo, I am coming to deal with you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal! (4) I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws, and lead you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them clothed in splendor, a vast assembly, all of them with bucklers and shields, wielding swords. (5) Among them shall be Persia, Nubia, and Put, everyone with shield and helmet; (6) Gomer and all its cohorts, Beth-togarmah [in] the remotest parts of the north and all its cohorts—the many peoples with you. (7) Be ready, prepare yourselves, you and all the battalions mustered about you, and hold yourself in reserve for them. (8) After a long time you shall be summoned; in the distant future you shall march against the land [of a people] restored from the sword, gathered from the midst of many peoples—against the mountains of Israel, which have long lain desolate—[a people] liberated from the nations, and now all dwelling secure. (9) You shall advance, coming like a storm; you shall be like a cloud covering the earth, you and all your cohorts, and the many peoples with you. (10) Thus said the Lord GOD: On that day, a thought will occur to you, and you will conceive a wicked design. (11) You will say, “I will invade a land of open towns, I will fall upon a tranquil people living secure, all of them living in unwalled towns and lacking bars and gates, (12) in order to take spoil and seize plunder”—to turn your hand against repopulated wastes, and against a people gathered from among nations, acquiring livestock and possessions, living at the center of the earth. (13) Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants and all the magnates of Tarshish will say to you, “Have you come to take spoil? Is it to seize plunder that you assembled your hordes—to carry off silver and gold, to make off with livestock and goods, to gather an immense booty?” (14) Therefore prophesy, O mortal, and say to Gog: Thus said the Lord GOD: Surely, on that day, when My people Israel are living secure, you will take note,^-c (15) and you will come from your home in the farthest north, you and many peoples with you—all of them mounted on horses, a vast horde, a mighty army— (16) and you will advance upon My people Israel, like a cloud covering the earth. This shall happen on that distant day: I will bring you to My land, that the nations may know Me when, before their eyes, I manifest My holiness through you, O Gog! (17) Thus said the Lord GOD: Why, you are the one I spoke of in ancient days through My servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them! (18) On that day, when Gog sets foot on the soil of Israel—declares the Lord GOD—My raging anger shall flare up. (19) For I have decreed in My indignation and in My blazing wrath: On that day, a terrible earthquake shall befall the land of Israel. (20) The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that move on the ground, and every human being on earth shall quake before Me. Mountains shall be overthrown, cliffs shall topple, and every wall shall crumble to the ground. (21) I will then summon the sword against him throughout My mountains^-d—declares the Lord GOD—and every man’s sword shall be turned against his brother. (22) I will punish him with pestilence and with bloodshed; and I will pour torrential rain, hailstones, and sulfurous fire upon him and his hordes and the many peoples with him. (23) Thus will I manifest My greatness and My holiness, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations. And they shall know that I am the LORD.

(1) The word that Isaiah son of Amoz prophesied concerning Judah and Jerusalem. (2) In the days to come,The Mount of the LORD’s HouseShall stand firm above the mountainsAnd tower above the hills;And all the nationsShall gaze on it with joy. (3) And the many peoples shall go and say:“Come,Let us go up to the Mount of the LORD,To the House of the God of Jacob;That He may instruct us in His ways,And that we may walk in His paths.”For instruction shall come forth from Zion,The word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (4) Thus He will judge among the nationsAnd arbitrate for the many peoples,And they shall beat their swords into plowsharesAnd their spears into pruning hooks:Nation shall not take upSword against nation;They shall never again know war. (5) O House of Jacob!Come, let us walkBy the light of the LORD. (6) For you have forsaken [the ways of] your people,O House of Jacob!For they are full [of practices] from the East,And of soothsaying like the Philistines;They abound in customs of the aliens.^-d (7) Their land is full of silver and gold,There is no limit to their treasures;Their land is full of horses,There is no limit to their chariots. (8) And their land is full of idols;They bow down to the work of their hands,To what their own fingers have wrought. (9) But man shall be humbled,And mortal brought low—Oh, do not forgive them!^-f (10) Go deep into the rock,Bury yourselves in the ground,Before the terror of the LORDAnd His dread majesty! (11) Man’s haughty look shall be brought low,And the pride of mortals shall be humbled.None but the LORD shall beExalted in that day. (12) For the LORD of Hosts has ready a dayAgainst all that is proud and arrogant,Against all that is lofty—so that it is brought low: (13) Against all the cedars of Lebanon,Tall and stately,And all the oaks of Bashan; (14) Against all the high mountainsAnd all the lofty hills; (15) Against every soaring towerAnd every mighty wall; (16) Against all the ships of Tarshish^-gAnd all the gallant barks. (17) Then man’s haughtiness shall be humbledAnd the pride of man brought low.None but the LORD shall beExalted in that day. (18) As for idols, they shall vanish completely. (19) And men shall enter caverns in the rockAnd hollows in the ground—Before the terror of the LORDAnd His dread majesty,When He comes forth to overawe the earth. (20) On that day, men shall fling away,To the flying foxes^-h and the bats,The idols of silverAnd the idols of goldWhich they made for worshiping. (21) And they shall enter the clefts in the rocksAnd the crevices in the cliffs,Before the terror of the LORDAnd His dread majesty,When He comes forth to overawe the earth. (22) Oh, cease to glorify man,Who has only a breath in his nostrils!For by what does he merit esteem?
