Prophecy Against Gog

17 "As for you, z son of man, thus says the Lord God: a Speak to b the birds of every sort and to b all beasts of the field, 'Assemble and come, gather from all around to c the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you, a great sacrificial feast on the mountains of Israel, and you shall eat flesh and drink blood. 18 d You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth - of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, of bulls, all of them e fat beasts of Bashan. 19 And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you. 20 And you shall be filled at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all kinds of warriors,' declares the Lord God.

21 "And f I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see g my judgment that I have executed, and g my hand that I have laid on them. 22 h The house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God, from that day forward. 23 And i the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that j I hid my face from them and k gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. 24 I dealt with them l according to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them.
