Ezekiel 38:10-13
Christian Standard Bible
10 “‘This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan. 11 You will say, “I will advance against a land of open villages; I will come against a tranquil people who are living securely,(A) all of them living without walls and without bars or gates”(B)— 12 in order to seize spoil and carry off plunder,(C) to turn your hand against ruins now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have been acquiring cattle and possessions and who live at the center of the world. 13 Sheba(D) and Dedan(E) and the merchants of Tarshish(F) with all its rulers[a] will ask you, “Have you come to seize spoil? Have you mobilized your assembly to carry off plunder, to make off with silver and gold, to take cattle and possessions, to seize plenty of spoil?”’
