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.
26 They will live safely in their own land, but will be ashamed when they remember their evil ways and how they disgraced me.
