Ezekiel 38:10-13
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Thus saith the Lord God, Even at the same time shall many things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think [a]evil thoughts.
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land that hath no walled towers: [b]I will go to them that are at rest and dwell in safety, which dwell all without walls, and have neither bars nor gates,
12 Thinking to spoil the prey, and to take a booty, to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations which have gotten cattle, and goods, and dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish with all the lions thereof shall say unto thee, [c]Art thou come to spoil the prey? hast thou gathered thy multitude to take a booty? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, and to spoil a great prey?
