Ezekiel 38:10-13
New King James Version
10 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of (A)unwalled villages; I will (B)go to a peaceful people, (C)who dwell [a]safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, (D)and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 (E)Sheba, (F)Dedan, the merchants (G)of Tarshish, and all (H)their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
