Ezekiel 38

⁵Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:

⁶Gomer and all her forces; the people of Togarmah in the inmost parts of the north, with all his forces: a great number of peoples with you.

⁷Be ready, make yourself ready, you and all the forces who are with you, and be ready for my orders.

⁸After a long time you will get your orders: in the last years you will come into the land which has been given back from the sword, which has been got together out of a great number of peoples, on the mountains of Israel which have ever been a waste: but it has been taken out from the peoples and they will be living, all of them, without fear of danger.

⁹And you will go up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your forces, and a great number of peoples with you.

¹⁰This is what the Lord has said: In that day it will come about that things will come into your mind, and you will have thoughts of an evil design:
