Deuteronomy 32:40-42

International Standard Version

⁴⁰ “I solemnly swear^[a] to heaven—
    I say ‘As certainly as I’m alive and living forever,
⁴¹ I’ll whet my shining sword,
    with my hands in firm grasp of judgment.
I’ll show vengeance on my adversary
    and repay those who keep on hating me.
⁴² I’ll make my arrows drunk with blood.
    My sword will devour flesh,
        along with the blood of the slain,
    and I’ll take their enemy leaders captive.’
