39 ‘See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can save anyone from My hand.
40 ‘Indeed, I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, as I live forever,
41 If I have sharpened 32:41 Lit the lightning of My swordMy flashing sword,
And My hand has taken hold of justice,
I will return vengeance on My adversaries,
And I will repay those who hate Me.
42 ‘I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword will devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the long-haired 32:42 Lit headleaders of the enemy.’
