⁷ “ ‘Be prepared! Be prepared, you and all the soldiers assembled around you. You will be their leader. ⁸ After a long time you will be called to service. In the years to come, you will attack a land that has been rebuilt after a war. Its people have been gathered from many nations and brought to the mountains of Israel, mountains that have been ruined for a long time. These people were brought there from the nations, and all of them live there safely. ⁹ You will attack like a storm and cover the land like a cloud. Your troops and the many armies will be with you.
