Ezekiel 38:10-13
New American Standard Bible
10 ‘This is what the Lord God says: “It will come about on that day, that [a]thoughts will come into your mind and you will (A)devise an evil plan, 11 and you will say, ‘I will go up against the land of [b](B)unwalled villages. I will go against those who are (C)at rest, who live securely, all of them living without walls and having no bars or gates, 12 to (D)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 [c]center of the world.’ 13 (E)Sheba and (F)Dedan and the merchants of (G)Tarshish with all its [d]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 (H)spoils?’”’

10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages; I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates’; 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder; to assail the waste places which are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have gotten cattle and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its villages will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to seize great spoil?’
