Ezekiel 39:17-29 ▼

17 And you, son of man, thus says the Lord YHWH: Say to the bird of every wing, and to every beast of the field, ‘Gather yourselves, and come; gather together from all around to My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you?, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you? may eat flesh and drink blood!

18 The flesh of the mighty ones you? will eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth you? will drink—rams, lambs, and goats, and bulls, fatlings of Bashan—all of them!

19 And you? will eat fat to fullness, and you? will drink blood to drunkenness, at My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you?.

20 And you? will be filled at My table with horses and riders, with mighty ones, and with all the men of war,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.

21 And I will give forth My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see My judgment that I have made, and My hand that I have set upon them.

22 And the house of Israel will know that I am YHWH their God, from that day and forward.

23 And the nations will know that for their iniquity the house of Israel went into captivity, upon that they were unfaithful to Me; and I hid My face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and I have hidden My face from them.

25 Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Now I will turn back the captivity of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all the house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.

26 And they will forget their shame, and all their unfaithfulness by which they were unfaithful with Me in their dwelling upon their own land in safety, and there will not be one to frighten them.

27 In My returning them from the peoples, I have gathered them from the lands of their enemies, and I will show My holiness in them before the eyes of the many nations.

28 And they will know that I am YHWH their God, in My sending them into captivity among the nations. And I will gather them upon their land, and no longer will I leave them to remain there.

29 And I will not hide My face anymore from them, when I pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
