40 As surely as I am the living God,
    I raise my hand and I vow
41     that I will sharpen my flashing sword
    and see that justice is done.
I will take revenge on my enemies
    and punish those who hate me.
42 My arrows will drip with their blood,
    and my sword will kill all who oppose me.
I will spare no one who fights against me;
    even the wounded and prisoners will die.’

40 I lift my hand(A) to heaven and solemnly swear:
    As surely as I live forever,(B)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(C)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(D) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.(E)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(F)
    while my sword devours flesh:(G)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”
