6. as well as from Gomer and Beth-Togarmah in the north. Your army is enormous!
7. So keep your troops prepared to fight,
8. because in a few years, I will command you to invade Israel, a country that was ruined by war. It was deserted for a long time, but its people have returned from the foreign nations where they once lived. The Israelites now live in peace in the mountains of their own land.
9. But you and your army will attack them like a fierce thunderstorm and surround them like a cloud.
10. When that day comes, I know that you will have an evil plan
11. to take advantage of Israel, that weak and peaceful country where people live safely inside towns that have no walls or gates or locks.
