Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken {it}, saith the Lord GOD. {the open...: Heb. the face of the field}

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I {am} the LORD. {carelessly: or, confidently}

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this {is} the day whereof I have spoken.
