¹¹ The dogs shall eat ^(A)whoever belongs to Jeroboam and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field; for the Lord has spoken!” ’

⁴ The dogs shall eat ^(A)whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields.”

The Beast and His Armies Defeated

¹⁷ Then I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of heaven, ^(A)“Come and gather together for the ^[a]supper of the great God, ^18 (B)that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, ^[b]free and slave, both small and great.”

³ “And I will ^(A)appoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the Lord: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, ^(B)the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

²³ And ^(A)concerning Jezebel the Lord also spoke, saying, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the ^[a]wall of Jezreel.’ ²⁴ The dogs shall eat ^(B)whoever belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field.”

A Triumphant Festival

¹⁷ “And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord God, ^(A)‘Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field:

¹⁹ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Have you murdered and also taken possession?” ’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: ^(A)“In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.” ’ ”
