(A)Be ready, and be prepared, you and all your contingents that are assembled around you, and be a guard for them. (B)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 (C)gathered from many [a]nations to the (D)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 (E)living securely, all of them. And you will go up, you will come (F)like a storm; you will be like a (G)cloud covering the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.”

Be prepared. Yes, prepare yourself—you and all of your many battalions that have gathered together around you to protect you.

“‘“Many days from now—in the latter years—you will be summoned to a land that has been restored from violence.[a] You will be gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which formerly had been a continuous waste, but which will be populated with people who have been brought back from the nations. All of them will be living there securely. You’ll arise suddenly, like a tornado, coming like a windstorm[b] to cover the land, you and all your soldiers with you, along with many nations.”’”
