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

²⁹ you should fear the sword yourselves;
    for wrath will bring punishment by the sword,^(A)
    and then you will know that there is judgment.^[a]”^(B)

¹⁶ For with fire^(A) and with his sword^(B)
    the Lord will execute judgment^(C) on all people,
    and many will be those slain^(D) by the Lord.
