Deuteronomy 32:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 For [a]I lift up mine hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment, I will execute vengeance on mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, (and my sword shall eat flesh) for the blood of the slain, and of the captives, when I begin to take vengeance of the enemy.

the heads of the enemy leaders.”
