Ezekiel 38:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 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. 8 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. 9 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.”

Ezekiel 38:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Stand ready and be prepared, you and all your assembly. You will watch out for those who gather against you.
8 After many days you will be called out. In future years you will enter a country that has been freed from the sword, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had become a perpetual ruin. This country was brought out from the peoples, and all of them live securely. 9 You will invade like a sudden storm. You and all your troops, and the many peoples with you, will be like clouds covering the earth.
