New Testament

Ezekiel 38:7-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Stand ready and be prepared, you and all your assembly. You will watch out for those who gather against you.

8. After many days you will be called out. In future years you will enter a country that has been freed from the sword, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had become a perpetual ruin. This country was brought out from the peoples, and all of them live securely.

9. You will invade like a sudden storm. You and all your troops, and the many peoples with you, will be like clouds covering the earth.

10. The Lord God proclaims: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

11. You will say, "I will go up against the open country and come against a quiet people who all live securely without walls, bars, or doors

12. to take plunder and seize loot, to use my power against the resettled waste places, against a people gathered from the nations, who are acquiring goods and cattle, and who live at the center of the earth."

13. Sheba and Dedan and the merchants and officials of Tarshish will say to you, "Have you come to take plunder and seize loot? Have you assembled your army to take silver and gold, to take goods and cattle, to engage in great looting?"

14. So now, prophesy, human one, and say to Gog, The Lord God proclaims: Isn’t that what you will decide to do on that day, when my people Israel live securely?
