Ezekiel 38:6-8
New English Translation

6 They are joined by[a] 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.[b]

7 “‘Be ready and stay ready, you and all your companies assembled around you, and be a guard for them.[c] 8 After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come to a land restored from the ravages of war,[d] from many peoples gathered on the mountains of Israel that had long been in ruins. Its people[e] were brought out from the peoples, and all of them will be living securely.
