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:

(B)“Assemble yourselves and come;
Gather together from all sides to My (C)sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you,
A great sacrificial meal (D)on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.
18 (E)You shall eat the flesh of the mighty,
Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them (F)fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat till you are full,
And drink blood till you are drunk,
At My sacrificial meal
Which I am sacrificing for you.
20 (G)You shall be filled at My table
With horses and riders,
(H)With mighty men
And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.

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.”

19 (C)And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 20 (D)Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and (E)those who worshiped his image. (F)These two were cast alive into the lake of fire (G)burning with brimstone. 21 And the rest (H)were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. (I)And all the birds (J)were filled with their flesh.

For the indignation of the Lord is against all nations,
And His fury against all their armies;
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to the (A)slaughter.
Also their slain shall be thrown out;
(B)Their stench shall rise from their corpses,
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
(C)All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;
(D)All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as (E)fruit falling from a fig tree.

“For (F)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it (G)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
The (H)sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is made [a]overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For (I)the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]saturated with fatness.”

For it is the day of the Lord’s (J)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
