Ezekiel 39:17-22

17“As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ‘Speak to every 1kind of 2bird and to every 3beast of the field, “Assemble and come, gather from every side to My sacrifice which I am going to 4sacrifice for you, as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will 5eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were 6rams, lambs, goats and 7bulls, all of them fatlings of 8Bashan. 19So you will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20You will be glutted at My table with 9horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.

21“And I will set My 10glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed and My hand which I have laid on them. 22And the house of Israel will 11know that I am the Lord their God from that day onward.
