Deuteronomy 32:39-41
Revised Standard Version
39 “‘See now that I, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
I kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven,
and swear, As I live for ever,
41 if I whet my glittering sword,[a]
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries,
and will requite those who hate me.
