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.

The Beast and False Prophet Are Seized

20 And the beast was seized, and with him the (J)false prophet who (K)did the signs [c](L)in his presence, by which he (M)deceived those who had received the (N)mark of the beast and those who (O)worshiped his image. 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.

17 And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly directly overhead[a],

“Come! Assemble for the great banquet of God,
18 in order that you may eat the flesh of kings,
and the flesh of military tribunes,
and the flesh of the powerful,
and the flesh of horses and those seated on them,
and the flesh of all people,
both free and slave,
and small and great!”

19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war with the one who is seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs before him, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who had worshiped his image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. 21 And the rest were killed by the sword of the one who is seated on the horse—the sword that comes out of his mouth—and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
