Ezechiel 38:12
To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- ut diripias spolia, et invadas prædam ; ut inferas manum tuam super eos qui deserti fuerant, et postea restituti, et super populum qui est congregatus ex gentibus, qui possidere cœpit et esse habitator umbilici terræ.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- προνομεῦσαι προνομὴν καὶ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα αὐτῶν, τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι χεῖρά μου εἰς τὴν ἠρημωμένην ἣ κατοικίσθη, καὶ ἐπ᾽ ἔθνος συνηγμένον ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν, πεποιηκότας κτήσεις, κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τὸν ὀμφαλὸν τῆς γῆς·
- Hebrew (WLC)
- לִשְׁלֹ֥ל שָׁלָ֖ל וְלָבֹ֣ז בַּ֑ז לְהָשִׁ֨יב יָדְךָ֜ עַל חֳרָב֣וֹת נוֹשָׁבֹ֗ת וְאֶל עַם֙ מְאֻסָּ֣ף מִגּוֹיִ֔ם עֹשֶׂה֙ מִקְנֶ֣ה וְקִנְיָ֔ן יֹשְׁבֵ֖י עַל טַבּ֥וּר הָאָֽרֶץ
Haydock's commentary
Midst. Literally, "navel." Hebrew, "Thabor," intimating a mountain rising in a plain, Judges ix. 7. (Calmet)
Alluding to this intended blunder of the Jews lately returned, he speaks of Antichrist and of all heretics, who seek to pervert or suppress Catholics rescued from the power of the devil, by the sacraments of Christ. (Worthington)
