42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and my sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain,
and captives[a] from the heads[b] of the leaders of the enemy.’
43 Call for songs of joy, O nations, concerning his people,[c]
for the blood of his servants he will avenge,
and he will take reprisals against his foes,[d]
and he will make atonement for his land, his people.”
44 And Moses came, and he spoke[e] all the words of this song in the ears of the people; that is, he and Joshua the son of Nun.
