Soothly the name of the city (nearby) is Hamonah; and (so) they shall cleanse the land.
17
Forsooth, thou, son of man, the Lord God saith these things, Say thou to each bird, and to all fowls, and to all beasts of the field, Come ye together, and haste ye, run ye together on each side to my sacrifice, which I slay to you, a great sacrifice on the hills of Israel, that ye eat fleshes, and drink blood. (And, thou, son of man, the Lord God saith these things, Say thou to each and every bird, and to all beasts of the field, Come ye together, and haste ye, run ye together on every side to my sacrifice, which I shall kill for you, yea, a great sacrifice on the hills of Israel, so that ye can eat flesh, or meat, and drink blood.)
18
Ye shall eat the fleshes of strong men, and ye shall drink the blood of princes of earth, of wethers, of lambs, and of bucks of goats, and of bulls, and of beasts made fat, and of all fat things (of Bashan). (Ye shall eat the flesh of strong men, and ye shall drink the blood of the princes of the earth, and of rams, and of lambs, and of goat-bucks, and of bulls, and of the fat beasts of Bashan.)
19
And ye shall eat the inner fatness into fullness, and ye shall drink the blood into drunkenness, of the sacrifice which I shall slay to you (of the sacrifice which I shall kill for you).
20
And ye shall be filled on my board (And ye shall be filled full at my table), of horse, and of strong horseman, [or knight,] and of all men warriors, saith the Lord God.
21
And I shall set my glory among heathen men, and all heathen men shall see my doom, which I have done, and mine hand, which I have set on them. (And I shall set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgement, which I have done, and my hand, or my power, which I have put upon them.)
22
And the house of Israel shall know, that I am their Lord God (that I am the Lord their God), from that day and afterward.
23
And heathen men shall know, that the house of Israel is taken in their wickedness, for that that they forsook me; and I hid my face from them, and I betook them into the hands of (their) enemies, and all they fell down by sword. (And the heathen shall know, that the house of Israel is taken in their wickedness, because they deserted me; and I hid my face from them, and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they all fell down by the sword.)
24
By the uncleanness and great trespass of them I did to them, and (then) I hid my face from them.
25
Therefore the Lord God saith these things, Now I shall lead again the captivity of Jacob, and I shall have mercy on all the house of Israel; and I shall take fervor for mine holy name. (And so the Lord God saith these things, Now I shall restore the prosperity of Jacob, and I shall have mercy on all the house of Israel; and I shall be jealous for my holy name.)
26
And they shall bear their shame, and all their trespassing by which they trespassed against me, when they dwelled in their land trustily, and dreaded no man (when they lived in their land with trust, and feared no one);
