Ezekiel 38:11

A Prophecy against Gog

10This is what the Lord GOD says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.11You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will come against a tranquil people who dwell securely, all of them living without walls or bars or gates—12in order to seize the spoil and carry off the plunder, to turn a hand against the desolate places now inhabited and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and possessions and who live at the center of the land.’
