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

21 “And I will place My (I)glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them. 22 And the house of Israel will (J)know that I am the Lord their God, from that day onward. 23 The nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their (K)wrongdoing, because they were disloyal to Me, and I (L)hid My face from them; so I handed them over to their adversaries, and all of them fell by the sword. 24 (M)In accordance with their uncleanness and their offenses I dealt with them, and I hid My face from them.”’”
