And you shall eat fat till you are filled, and drink blood till you are drunk, at the sacrificial feast that I am preparing for you.
God speaks of this victory as already done, though the fulfillment lies ahead, because it is as certain as if accomplished. The routed army leaves behind such mountains of weapons that Israel will burn them for fuel seven years instead of cutting wood from the forests, turning the instruments of war into the ordinary means of warming their homes.

Commenting on Ezekiel 39:8-22
The fat of slain men shall satiate them, and the blood shall intoxicate them as wine intoxicates men, making beasts fiercer still. God Himself has prepared this sacrifice for them; they shall have their full of flesh, fat, and blood of the slain.

Voltaire peddles a vile lie: the Jews are not invited here to eat human flesh and drink blood. God speaks to the fowls and beasts in these verses, not to men. The persons never change from verse seventeen onward. Such falsehoods spring either from brutish ignorance or Satanic malice.
