40 For I lift up My hand to heaven, and promise that, as I live forever, 41 I will make My shining sword sharp. My hand takes hold of what is right and fair. I will punish those who are against Me. And I will punish those who hate Me. 42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood. My sword will eat flesh with the blood of those who are killed and those who are in prison, from the long-haired leaders of those who hate Me.’

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.”
