Deuteronomy 32:42–43

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.”

43 Rejoice, you nations, with his people,

for he will avenge the blood of his servants;

he will take vengeance on his enemies

and make atonement for his land and people.

42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,

And my sword shall devour flesh;

And that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,

From the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:

For he will avenge the blood of his servants,

And will render vengeance to his adversaries,

And will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,

and my sword will devour flesh—

the blood of the slaughtered and the captives,

and the heads of the enemy leaders.” ’

43 “Rejoice with him, you heavens,

and let all of God’s angels worship him.

Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles,

and let all the angels be strengthened in him.

For he will avenge the blood of his children;

he will take revenge against his enemies.

He will repay those who hate him

and cleanse his people’s land.”

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.” ’

43 “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people;

For He will avenge the blood of His servants,

And render vengeance to His adversaries;

He will provide atonement for His land and His people.”

42 My arrows will be covered with their blood;

my sword will eat their flesh.

The blood will flow from those who are killed and the captives.

The heads of the enemy leaders will be cut off.”

43 Be happy, nations, with his people,

because he will repay you for the blood of his servants.

He will punish his enemies,

and he will remove the sin of his land and people.

42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,

And my sword shall devour flesh;

With the blood of the slain and the captives,

From the head of the leaders of the enemy.

43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:

For he will avenge the blood of his servants,

And will render vengeance to his adversaries,

And will make expiation for his land, for his people.

42 Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; I will make them drunk with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy. 43 Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.

42 My arrows will drip with blood 

from those who were killed and taken captive. 

My sword will cut off the heads 

of the enemy who vowed to fight. 

43 Joyfully sing with the Lord’s people, you nations, 

because he will take revenge for the death of his servants. 

He will get even with his enemies 

and make peace for his people’s land.

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.”

43 Rejoice, you nations, concerning His people,

for He will avenge the blood of His servants.

He will take vengeance on His adversaries;

He will purify His land and His people.

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 long-haired enemy.’

43 Praise, O heavens, his people;

worship him, all you gods!

For he will avenge the blood of his children

and take vengeance on his adversaries;

he will repay those who hate him

and cleanse the land for his people.”

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,

and my sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain,

and captives from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.’

43 Call for songs of joy, O nations, concerning his people,

for the blood of his servants he will avenge,

and he will take reprisals against his foes,

and he will make atonement for his land, his people.”

42 I will make my arrows drip with blood.

My sword will destroy people.

It will kill some. It will even kill prisoners.

It will cut off the heads of enemy leaders.”

43 You nations, be full of joy. Be joyful together with God’s people.

The Lord will get even with his enemies.

He will pay them back for killing those who serve him.

He will wipe away the sin of his land and people.

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 leaders of the enemy.’

43 “Rejoice, O nations, with His people;

For He will avenge the blood of His servants,

And will render vengeance on His adversaries,

And will atone for His land and His people.”
