Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal

A great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel,
That you may eat flesh and drink blood.

Drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
Of rams and lambs,
Of goats and bulls,
All of them fatlings of Bashan.

With horses and riders,

And with all the men of war,” says the Lord God.
