Ezekiel 39:17-24

Ezekiel 39:17-24

[17] And, thou son  of man,  thus saith  the Lord  GOD;  Speak  unto every feathered  fowl,  and to every beast  of the field,  Assemble  yourselves, and come;  gather  yourselves on every side  to my sacrifice  that I do sacrifice  for you, even a great  sacrifice  upon the mountains  of Israel,  that ye may eat  flesh,  and drink  blood.  [18] Ye shall eat  the flesh  of the mighty,  and drink  the blood  of the princes  of the earth,  of rams,  of lambs,  and of goats,  of bullocks,  all of them fatlings  of Bashan.  [19] And ye shall eat  fat  till ye be full,  and drink  blood  till ye be drunken,  of my sacrifice  which I have sacrificed  for you. [20] Thus ye shall be filled  at my table  with horses  and chariots,  with mighty men,  and with all men  of war,  saith  the Lord  GOD.  [21] And I will set  my glory  among the heathen,  shall see  my judgment  that I have executed,  and my hand  that I have laid  upon them. [22] So the house  of Israel  shall know  that I am the LORD  their God  from that day  and forward.  [23] And the heathen  shall know  that the house  of Israel  went into captivity  for their iniquity:  because they trespassed  against me, therefore hid  I my face  from them, and gave  them into the hand  of their enemies:  so fell  they all by the sword.  [24] According to their uncleanness  and according to their transgressions  have I done  unto them, and hid  my face  from them.
