Deuteronomy 32:35–43

35  tTo me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;

Their foot shall slide in due time:

For uthe day of their calamity is at hand,

And the things that shall come upon them make haste.

36  wFor the Lord shall judge his people,

xAnd repent himself for his servants,

When he seeth that their †power is gone,

And ythere is none shut up, or left.

37  And he shall say, zWhere are their gods,

Their rock in whom they trusted,

38  Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,

And drank the wine of their drink offerings?

Let them rise up and help you,

And be †your protection.

39  See now that aI, even I, am he,

And there is no god with me:

bI kill, and I make alive;

cI wound, and I heal:

Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

40  For dI lift up my hand to heaven,

And say, I live for ever.

41  If I whet my glittering esword,

And mine hand take hold on judgment;

I will render vengeance to mine enemies,

And will reward them that hate me.

42  I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,

And fmy sword shall devour flesh;

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

From the beginning of grevenges upon the enemy.

43  ||hRejoice, O ye nations, with his people:

For he will iavenge the blood of his servants,

And kwill render vengeance to his adversaries,

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