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
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
An Angel Calls The Birds To Feast On Human Flesh
17 And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried-out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, be gathered-together for the great banquet of God, 18 in order that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of powerful ones, and the flesh of horses and of the ones sitting on them, and the flesh of everyone— both free and slaves, both[a] small and great”.
The Beast And His Followers Are Conquered. The Birds Are Satisfied
19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies having been gathered-together to make[b] war against the One sitting on the horse, and against His army. 20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false-prophet having done the signs in his presence, by which he deceived the ones having received the mark of the beast, and the ones giving-worship to his image. While living, the two were thrown into the lake of fire burning with sulphur. 21 And the rest were killed with the sword of the One sitting on the horse, the sword having come-out of His mouth. And all the birds were filled-to-satisfaction from their flesh.
