² Son of man, set thy face against Pharao king of Egypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, and of all Egypt:

¹⁷ And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood.
