Ezekiel 39:22
20 And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.
21 I will display My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the judgment that I execute and the hand that I lay upon them.
From that day forward the house of Israel will know that I am the LORD their God.
23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into exile for their iniquity, because they were unfaithful to Me. So I hid My face from them and delivered them into the hands of their enemies, so that they all fell by the sword.
24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and transgressions, and I hid My face from them.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
