Ezekiel 38:8-12

Context
38:8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war, 1  with many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins. Its people 2  were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely. 38:9 You will advance; 3  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.

38:10 “‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind, 4  and you will devise an evil plan. 38:11 You will say, “I will invade 5  a land of unwalled towns; I will advance against 6  those living quietly in security – all of them living without walls and barred gates – 38:12 to loot and plunder, to attack 7  the inhabited ruins and the people gathered from the nations, who are acquiring cattle and goods, who live at the center 8  of the earth.”
