Deuteronomy 32:40-42

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to heaven
    and swear, As I live forever,
⁴¹when I whet my flashing sword
    and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
    and will repay those who hate me.^(A)
⁴²I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
    and my sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
    from the long-haired enemy.’^(B)
