10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day, (A)thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against (B)the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon (C)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 turn your hand against (D)the waste places that are now inhabited, and (E)the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, (F)who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 (G)Sheba and (H)Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all (I)its leaders[a] 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 livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’
