Context of Ezekiel 39:21

19You will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, at my slaughter which I have made for you. 20You will fill up at my table with horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the soldiers,’ declares the sovereign Lord. “I will display my majesty among the nations.
