Context of Ezekiel 39:21

19At this sacrifice, you will eat so much fat that you cannot eat any more. You will drink so much blood that you become drunk. 20I will give you horses and their riders to eat. I will give you great men and many kinds of soldiers to eat,” says the Lord God. I will show my glory to all the nations. They will see that I can punish people. And they will know that I decide how and when to punish them. 22From that time and for all the time after that, Israel's people will know that I am the Lord their God. 23And the nations will know that I sent Israel's people away from their country. They will know that I punished my people because of their sin. They had not been faithful to me so I turned away from them. I let their enemies take them and kill them with swords.
