(A)“Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. (B)After many days you will be mustered. (C)In the latter years you will go against (D)the land that is restored from war, the land whose people (E)were gathered from many peoples upon (F)the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and (G)now dwell securely, all of them. You will advance, coming on (H)like a storm. You will be (I)like a cloud covering the land, you and all your (J)hordes, and many peoples with you.

Be ready, and prepare yourselves,[a] you and all of your assembly,[b] the assembling[c] around you, and you must be[d] for them as a guard. After many days you will be mustered; in the last years[e] you will come to a restored land from the sword, gathered from many peoples on the mountains of Israel which were as permanent ruins[f] but from peoples it was brought out, and they will dwell in safety,[g] all of them. And you will advance like a storm; you will come, and you will be like a cloud covering[h] the land, and all of your troops and many nations along with you.”
