Isaiah
8:8 He will pass through Judah, he will
overflow and pass over, he will reach up to the neck; and the stretching out of
his wings will fill the breath of Your land, O Immanuel.
Ezekiel
38:9 You will ascend, coming like a
storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples
with you.
