Read Ezekiel 39.17-29
The feast of the birds and wild animals recalls the covenant curses (for example, Deut 28.16-44) in which Israel is fed to the birds and animals, but they are now applied to Israel's enemies
(Lev 26.22; Deut 28.26).
The sacrificial feast reverses the imagery of the banquet on Zion (Isa 25.6-10).
These actions enable God to display the divine glory to the nations.
I hid my face from them raises the question of God's injustice.
Restore the fortunes of Jacob recalls God's promise to remember the covenant with Jacob
(Lev 26.40-45) if the people confess their iniquity.
