Ezekiel 38:8-16

New American Standard Bible

⁸^(A)After 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 ^(B)gathered from many ^[a]nations to the ^(C)mountains of Israel which had been a continual place of ruins; but ^[b]its people were brought out from the ^[c]nations, and they are ^(D)living securely, all of them. ⁹And you will go up, you will come ^(E)like a storm; you will be like a ^(F)cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”

¹⁰‘This is what the Lord God says: “It will come about on that day, that ^[d]thoughts will come into your mind and you will ^(G)devise an evil plan, ¹¹and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of ^[e]^(H)unwalled villages. I will go against those who are ^(I)at rest, who live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, ¹²to ^(J)capture spoils and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the ruins that are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who live at the ^[f]center of the world.’ ¹³^(K)Sheba and ^(L)Dedan and the merchants of ^(M)Tarshish with all its ^[g]villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to capture spoils? Have you assembled your contingent to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to capture great ^(N)spoils?’”’

¹⁴“Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “On that day when My people Israel are ^(O)living securely, will you not know it? ¹⁵^(P)You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding horses, a large assembly and a mighty army; ¹⁶and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may ^(Q)know Me when I ^(R)show Myself holy through you before their eyes, Gog.”
