Ezekiel 38:8-12

New International Version

⁸ After many days^(A) you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations^(B) to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety.^{(C) 9} You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm;^(D) you will be like a cloud^(E) covering the land.^(F)

¹⁰ “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind^(G) and you will devise an evil scheme.^{(H) 11} You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people^(I)—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.^{(J) 12} I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.^[a]”
