18 The flesh of the strong shall ye eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth shall ye drink, rams, lambs and he goats, bullocks being fattened, of Bashan all of them. 19 And ye ate fat to satiety, and ye drank blood to drunkenness, from my sacrifice which I sacrificed for you. 20 And ye were satiated at my table with horse and chariot, with the strong, and every man of war, says the Lord Jehovah. 21 And I gave my honor among the nations, and all the nations saw my judgments which I did, and my hand that I put upon them. 22 And the house of Israel knew that I am Jehovah their God, from this day and farther. 23 And the nations shall know that for their iniquity the house of Israel were carried away captive: because they transgressed against me, and I will hide my face from them, and I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall fall by the sword, all of them. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I did with them, and I will hide my face from them. 25 For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now will I turn back the captivity of Jacob, and I compassionated all the house of Israel, and I was jealous for my holy name. 26 And they bare their shame and all their transgression which they transgressed against me, in their dwelling upon their land confidently, and none terrifying. 27 In my turning them back from the peoples, and I gathered them from the lands of their enemies, and I was consecrated in them before the eyes of many nations; 28 And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God in my carrying them captive to the nations: and I collected them into their land, and I will no more leave from them there. 29 And I will no more bide my face from them, for I poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah.
