Deuteronomy 32:40-42

Common English Bible

⁴⁰ But now I’m lifting my hand to heaven—
    I swear by my own eternity:
⁴¹         when I sharpen my blazing sword
            and my hand grabs hold of justice,
    I’ll pay my enemies back;
    I’ll punish in kind everyone who hates me.
⁴² I’ll make my arrows drink much blood,
    while my sword devours flesh,
    the blood of the dead and captured,
        flowing from the heads of enemy generals.”^[a]
