UST So it will be easy for us to attack these people. They are people who come back together from many countries where they had lived for many years, people who now live safely in their land with all their livestock and other possessions. They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries in the world. Our soldiers will take away all their valuable possessions.”

MSG(10-12)“‘Message of God, the Master: At that time you’ll start thinking things over and cook up an evil plot. You’ll say, “I’m going to invade a country without defenses, attack an unsuspecting, carefree people going about their business—no gates to their cities, no locks on their doors. And I’m going to plunder the place, march right in and clean them out, this rebuilt country risen from the ashes, these returned exiles and their booming economy centered down at the navel of the earth.”

38:12 The word used for center is “navel,” and is similar to Mount Tabor. It is in the same general area as “Armageddon,” the location for the end-time battle referred to in Revelation 16:16.

T4T So it will be easy for us to attack the people who are living again in those towns that were previously destroyed.

They are living in the country that is in the middle of the most important countries (OR, that they think is [IRO] the most important country) in the world. Our soldiers will take away [DOU] all their valuable possessions.”
