Ezekiel 38:8-13

8 aAfter many days you will be mustered; in the last years you will come into the land that is 1restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been bgathered from many peoples to the cmountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but 2its people were brought out from the peoples, and they are dliving securely, all of them. 9 And you will go up; you will come alike a storm; you will be like a bcloud covering the land, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”
10 ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “It will be in that day, that 1thoughts will come into your heart, and you will adevise an evil plan,
11 and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of 1aunwalled villages. I will go against those who bdwell quietly, that live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12 to acapture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places, which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and property, who live at the 1center of the world.’ 13 aSheba and bDedan and the merchants of cTarshish with all its 1young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your assembly to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great dspoil?’”’
