17. And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood.
18. You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and you shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, and of lambs, and of he goats, and bullocks, and of all that are well fed and fat.
19. And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you.
20. And you shall be filled at my table with horses, and mighty horsemen, and all the men of war, saith the Lord God.
21. And I will set my glory among the nations: and all nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22. And the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.
23. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword.
24. I have dealt with them according to their uncleanness, and wickedness, and hid my face from them.
25. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel: and I will be jealous for my holy name.
26. And they shall bear their confusion, and all the transgressions wherewith they have transgressed against me, when they shall dwell in their land securely fearing no man:
27. And I shall have brought them back from among the nations, and shall have gathered them together out of the lands of their enemies, and shall be sanctified in them, in the sight of many nations.
28. And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, because I caused them to be carried away among the nations; and I have gathered them together unto their own land, and have not left any of them there.
29. And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
