Ezekiel 38:10-17

10Thus says the Lord God: On that day, ethoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11and say, ‘I will go up against fthe land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon gthe quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against hthe waste places that are now inhabited, and ithe people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, jwho dwell at the center of the earth. 13 kSheba and lDedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all mits leaders
Hebrew young lions
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?’

14Therefore, oson of man, prophesy, and say to pGog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are qdwelling securely, rwill you not know it? 15You will come from your place out of sthe uttermost parts of the north, you and tmany peoples with you, uall of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16You will come up against my people Israel, vlike a cloud covering the land. wIn the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, xI vindicate my holiness before their eyes.

17Thus says the Lord God: Are you yhe of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?
