5 Persia, Cush, and Put are with you, all of them equipped with shield and helmet.
6 Gomer and all his troops, Beth-togarmah from the far north and all his troops; many peoples are with you.
7 Stand ready and be prepared, you and all your assembly. You will watch out for those who gather against you.
8 After many days you will be called out. In future years you will enter a country that has been freed from the sword, a gathering from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had become a perpetual ruin. This country was brought out from the peoples, and all of them live securely.
9 You will invade like a sudden storm. You and all your troops, and the many peoples with you, will be like clouds covering the earth.
10 The Lord God proclaims: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
11 You will say, "I will go up against the open country and come against a quiet people who all live securely without walls, bars, or doors
