Ezekiel 38:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 And you will say, ‘I will go up against a land of open country; I will come[a] to the people being at rest in safety,[b] all of them dwelling without a wall[c] and crossbars[d] and without doors,[e] 12 to[f] loot loot,[g] and to plunder[h] plunder, to assail[i] inhabited ruins and a people gathered together from various peoples and who are acquiring livestock and goods and dwelling at the center of the world. 13 Sheba and Dedan and traders of Tarshish and all its strong lions,[j] they will ask you, ‘To[k] loot loot[l] are you coming? To plunder[m] plunder have you summoned your assembly, to take away silver and gold, to take livestock and goods, to loot great amounts[n] of loot?”’
