Ezekiel 38:4-6
New English Translation

4 I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and bring you out with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them fully armed, a great company with shields of different types,[a] all of them armed with swords. 5 Persia,[b] Ethiopia, and Put[c] are with them, all of them with shields and helmets. 6 They are joined by[d] Gomer with all its troops, and by Beth Togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops—many peoples are with you.[e]
