40 For I lift up my hand to heaven,
And say, As I live for ever,
41 If I whet [a]my glittering sword,
And my hand take hold on judgment;
I will render vengeance to mine adversaries,
And will recompense them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,
And my sword shall devour flesh;
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
[b]From [c]the head of the leaders of the enemy.
