Ezekiel 38:6
4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws, and bring you out with all your army—your horses, your horsemen in full armor, and a great company armed with shields and bucklers, all brandishing their swords.
5 Persia, Cush, and Put will accompany them, all with shields and helmets,
as well as Gomer with all its troops, and Beth-togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.
7 Get ready; prepare yourself, you and all your company gathered around you; you will be their guard.
8 After a long time you will be summoned. In the latter years you will enter a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and all now dwell securely.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
