Deuteronomy 32:41-43
Christian Standard Bible
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword,
and my hand takes hold of judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood
while my sword devours flesh—
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”[a]
43 Rejoice, you nations, concerning his people,[b](A)
for he will avenge the blood of his servants.[c]
He will take vengeance on his adversaries;[d](B)
he will purify his land and his people.[e]

Jeremiah 46:10
Christian Standard Bible
10 That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Armies,
a day of vengeance to avenge himself
against his adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satisfied;
it will drink its fill of their blood,
because it will be a sacrifice(A) to the Lord, the God of Armies,
in the northern land by the Euphrates River.(B)
Ezekiel 21:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 and say to it, ‘This is what the Lord says: I am against you.(A) I will draw my sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked. 4 Since I will cut off[a] both the righteous and the wicked, my sword will therefore come out of its sheath against all humanity from the south to the north.(B) 5 So all humanity will know that I, the Lord, have taken my sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again.’(C)
