Revelation 19:17-21
New American Standard Bible
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 that fly in (B)midheaven, “(C)Come, assemble for the great feast of God, 18 so that you may (D)eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, (E)both free and slaves, and (F)small and great.”
19 And I saw (G)the beast and (H)the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who (I)sat on the horse, and against His army.
Doom of the Beast and False Prophet
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the (J)false prophet who (K)performed the signs [b](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 [c]brimstone. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword which (R)came from the mouth of Him who (S)sat on the horse, and (T)all the birds were filled with their flesh.

Revelation 19:17-21
International Standard Version
The Vision of the Angel’s Invitation
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come! Gather for the great supper of God. 18 Eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of warriors,[a] the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, both unimportant and important.”
The Vision of the Judgment of the Beast and False Prophet
19 Then I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 The beast was captured, along with the false prophet who had performed signs on its behalf.[b] By these signs[c] the false prophet[d] had deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 The rest were killed by the sword that belonged to the rider on the horse and that came from his mouth, and all the birds gorged themselves with their flesh.
