Ezekiel 38:8–12

8 “aAfter many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been bgathered from many 1nations to the cmountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but 2its people were brought out from the 1nations, and they are dliving securely, all of them.

9 “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 the Lord God, “It will come about on that day, that 1thoughts will come into your mind 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 are bat rest, 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 goods, who live at the 1center of the world.’
