Ezekiel 39:17-29

17“Now as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord God says: ‘Say to every 1kind of 2bird and to every 3animal of the field: “Assemble and come, gather from every direction to My sacrifice, which I am going to 4sacrifice for you as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; and you will eat flesh and drink blood. 18You will 5eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the leaders of the earth, as though they were 6rams, lambs, goats, and 7bulls, all of them fattened livestock of 8Bashan. 19So you will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20You will eat your fill at My table with 9horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the men of war,” declares the Lord God.

21“And I will place 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. 23The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their 12wrongdoing, because they were disloyal to Me, and I 13hid My face from them; so I handed them over to their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword. 24 14In accordance with their uncleanness and their offenses I dealt with them, and I hid My face from them.”’”

25Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Now I will 15restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on all the 16house of Israel; and I will be 17jealous for My holy name. 26They will 18 19forget their disgrace and all their 20treachery which they perpetrated against Me, when they 21live securely on their own land with 22no one to make them afraid. 27When I 23bring them back from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, then I shall 24show Myself holy 25through them in the sight of the many nations. 28Then they will know that I am the Lord their God because I made them go into exile among the nations, and then I gathered them again to their own land; and I will leave none of them there any longer. 29I will not hide My face from them any longer, for I will have 26poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,” declares the Lord God.
