Ezekiel 38:7-9
New English Translation
7 “‘Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies assembled around you, and be a guard for them.[a] 8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war,[b] from many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins. Its people[c] were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely. 9 You will advance;[d] you will come like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the earth, you, all your troops, and the many other peoples with you.

Ezekiel 38:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Be prepared. Yes, prepare yourself—you and all of your many battalions that have gathered together around you to protect you.
8 “‘“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. 9 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.”’”
