ezekiel 39:18 "You shall eat the flesh of mighty men, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as [though they were] rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

< Ezekiel 39:17
Ezekiel 39:19 >

      18. rams . . . lambs . . . goats--By these various animal victims used in sacrifices are meant various ranks of men, princes, generals, and soldiers (compare Isa 34:6).
      fatlings of Bashan--ungodly men of might (Ps 22:12). Bashan, beyond Jordan, was famed for its fat cattle. Fat implies prosperity which often makes men refractory towards God (De 32:14, 15).
