10 When that day comes, I know that you will have an evil plan
11 to take advantage of Israel, that weak and peaceful country where people live safely inside towns that have no walls or gates or locks.
12 You will rob the people in towns that were once a pile of rubble. These people lived as prisoners in foreign nations, but they have returned to Israel, the most important place in the world, and they own livestock and property.
13 The people of Sheba and Dedan, along with merchants from villages in southern Spain, will be your allies. They will want some of the silver and gold, as well as the livestock and property that your army takes from Israel.
14 I, the Lord God, know that when you see my people Israel living in peace,
15 you will lead your powerful cavalry from your kingdom in the north.
16 You will attack my people like a storm cloud that covers their land. I will let you invade my country Israel, so that every nation on earth will know that I, the Lord, am holy.
