19 I want the birds and animals to eat until they are full and drink until they are drunk.
20 They will come to my table and stuff themselves with the flesh of horses and warriors of every kind. I, the Lord God, have spoken.
21 When I punish the nations of the earth, they will see the brightness of my glory.
22 The people of Israel will know from then on that I am the Lord their God.
23 Foreign nations will realize that the Israelites were forced to leave their own land because they sinned against me. I turned my back on my people and let enemies attack and kill them.
24 Their lives were wicked and corrupt, and they deserved to be punished.
25 Now I will show mercy to the people of Israel and bring them back from the nations where they are living. They are Jacob's descendants, so I will bless them and show that I am holy.
