40 I raise my hand to heaven and declare:

As surely as I live forever,

41 when I sharpen my flashing sword,

and my hand takes hold of judgment,

I will take vengeance on my adversaries

and repay those who hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood

while my sword devours flesh—

the blood of the slain and the captives,

the heads of the enemy leaders.”E
