17 Then I saw [a]an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to (A)all the birds which fly in (B)midheaven, “(C)Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 18 so that you may (D)eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of [b]commanders and the flesh of strong men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, (E)both free men and slaves, and (F)small and great.”

19 Then I saw (G)the beast and (H)the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war with Him who (I)sits on the horse and with His army.

These two were thrown alive into the (P)lake of (Q)fire which burns with [d]brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which (R)came from the mouth of Him who (S)sits on the horse, and (T)all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Come and eat the flesh of all, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 Then I saw that the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies had gathered to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was seized, along with the false prophet who had done signs in the beast’s presence. (He had used the signs to deceive people into receiving the beast’s mark and into worshipping the beast’s image.) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake that burns with sulfur. 21 The rest were killed by the sword that comes from the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds ate their fill of their flesh.
