God’s Accusation Against the Wicked

³³ Then the carcasses^(A) of this people will become food^(B) for the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away.^(C)

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds^(A) flying in midair,^(B) “Come,^(C) gather together for the great supper of God,^{(D) 18} so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,^(E) free and slave,^(F) great and small.”^(G)

²² “Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stir up your lovers^(A) against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side^(B)— ²³ the Babylonians^(C) and all the Chaldeans,^(D) the men of Pekod^(E) and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, all of them governors and commanders, chariot officers and men of high rank, all mounted on horses.^{(F) 24} They will come against you with weapons,^[a] chariots and wagons^(G) and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment,^(H) and they will punish you according to their standards. ²⁵ I will direct my jealous anger^(I) against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters,^(J) and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire.^(K)
