⁴⁰ Indeed, ^(A)I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, as I live forever,
^41 (B)If I have sharpened ^[a]My flashing sword,
And My hand has taken hold of justice,
^(C)I will return vengeance on My adversaries,
And I will repay those who hate Me.
^42 (D)I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
^(E)And My sword will devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the long-haired ^[b]leaders of the enemy.’
