40 I lift my hand up to the heavens,
    and I swear, as I live forever,
41 I will sharpen my glistening sword;
    my hand will seize onto justice.
I will render vengeance on my enemies;
    I will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and my sword will devour flesh,
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”

    As surely as I live forever,(B)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(C)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(D) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.(E)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(F)
    while my sword devours flesh:(G)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”
