5. Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them, with a small shield and helmet.
6. Gomer and all of its troops, Beth Togarmah, the remote areas of the north, and with all of its troops and many peoples with them.
7. Be ready, and prepare yourselves, you and all of your assembly, the assembling around you, and you must be for them as a guard.
8. After many days you will be mustered; in the last years you will come to a restored land from the sword, gathered from many peoples on the mountains of Israel which were as permanent ruins but from peoples it was brought out, and they will dwell in safety, all of them.
9. And you will advance like a storm; you will come, and you will be like a cloud covering the land, and all of your troops and many nations along with you.”
