9You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”

13Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, ‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ ” ’
