17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to (A)all the birds that fly directly overhead, (B)“Come, gather for (C)the great supper of God, 18 (D)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,[a] both small and great.” 19 And I saw (E)the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies (F)gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it (G)the false prophet (H)who in its presence[b] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who (I)worshiped its image. These two were (J)thrown alive into the lake of (K)fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword (L)that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and (M)all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
