Deuteronomy 32:39-41

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁹See now that I, even I, am he;
    there is no god besides me.
I kill, and I make alive;
    I wound, and I heal;
    and no one can deliver from my hand.^(A)
⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to heaven
    and swear, As I live forever,
⁴¹when I whet my flashing sword
    and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
    and will repay those who hate me.^(B)
