Ezekiel 38:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “ ‘ “Get ready. Be prepared. Take command of the huge armies gathered around you. ⁸ After many years you will be called together to fight. Later, you will march into a land that has not had war for a while. Its people were gathered together from many nations. They came to the mountains of Israel. No one had lived in those mountains for a long time. So the people had been brought back from other nations. Now all the people live in safety. ⁹ You, all your troops and the many nations with you will march up to attack them. All of you will advance like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering their land.”
