39 ‘Now see that Is. 41:4; 43:10I, even I, am He,
And Deut. 32:12; Is. 45:5thereis no God besides Me;
1 Sam. 2:6; Ps. 68:20I kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor isthereany who can deliver from My hand.
40 For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, "As I live forever,
41 Is. 1:24; 66:16; Jer. 50:28–32If I whet My glittering sword,
And My hand takes hold on judgment,
I will render vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me.
