Ezekiel 38:9-16
New International Version
9 You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm;(A) you will be like a cloud(B) covering the land.(C)
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind(D) and you will devise an evil scheme.(E) 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people(F)—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars.(G) 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.[a]” 13 Sheba(H) and Dedan(I) and the merchants of Tarshish(J) and all her villages[b] will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?(K)”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety,(L) will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north,(M) you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army.(N) 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud(O) that covers the land.(P) In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy(Q) through you before their eyes.(R)

Ezekiel 38:9-16
King James Version
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
