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.

Revised Standard Version
The Beast and Its Armies Defeated
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
