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.
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword shall devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the heads of the leaders of the enemy." ’
