"Now as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: 'Say to every ^(F1)kind of ^(C1)bird and to every ^(C1)animal of the field: "Assemble and come, gather from every direction to My sacrifice, which I am going to ^(C2)sacrifice for you as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; and you will eat flesh and drink blood.

"You will ^(C1)eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the leaders of the earth, as though they were ^(C2)rams, lambs, goats, and ^(C3)bulls, all of them fattened livestock of ^(C4)Bashan.

"So you will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

"You will eat your fill at My table with ^(C1)horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the men of war," declares the Lord GOD.

"And I will place My ^(C1)glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment which I have executed, and My hand which I have laid on them.

"And the house of Israel will ^(C1)know that I am the LORD their God, from that day onward.
