Deuteronomy 32:39-41

New International Reader's Version

³⁹ “Look! I am the One!
    There is no other God except me.
I put some people to death. I bring others to life.
    I have wounded, and I will heal.
    No one can save you from my power.
⁴⁰ I raise my hand to heaven. Here is the promise I make.
    You can be sure that I live forever.
⁴¹ And you can be just as sure
    that I will sharpen my flashing sword.
    My hand will hold it when I judge.
I will get even with my enemies.
    I will pay back those who hate me.
