¹⁷ I saw an angel standing in the sun. He shouted to all the birds flying high in the air, “Come! Gather together for the great supper of God. ¹⁸ Come and eat the dead bodies of kings, generals, and other mighty people. Eat the bodies of horses and their riders. Eat the bodies of all people, free and slave, great and small.”

¹⁹ Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies. They had gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. ²⁰ But the beast and the false prophet were captured. The false prophet had done signs for the beast. In this way the false prophet had tricked some people. Those people had received the mark of the beast and had worshiped its statue. The beast and the false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire. The lake of fire burns with sulfur. ²¹ The rest were killed by the sword that came out of the rider’s mouth. All the birds stuffed themselves with the dead bodies.
