39‘aSee now that I, I am He,

bAnd there is no god besides Me;

cIt is I who put to death and give life.

dI have wounded, and it is I who heal,

eAnd there is no one who can deliver from My hand.

40‘Indeed, aI lift up My hand to heaven,

And say, as I live forever,

41aIf I sharpen My 1flashing sword,

And My hand takes hold on judgment,

bI will render vengeance on My adversaries,

And I will repay those who hate Me.

“ ‘See now that I, even I, am he,

and there is no god beside me;

I kill and I make alive;

I wound and I heal;

and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.

For I lift up my hand to heaven

and swear, As I live forever,

if I sharpen my flashing sword

and my hand takes hold on judgment,

I will take vengeance on my adversaries

and will repay those who hate me.

and my hand grasps it in judgment,

I will take vengeance on my adversaries

there is no God but me.

I bring death and I give life;

I wound and I heal.

No one can rescue anyone from my power.

As surely as I live forever,

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.

Look now; I myself am he!

There is no other god but me!

I am the one who kills and gives life;

I am the one who wounds and heals;

no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!

Now I raise my hand to heaven

and declare, “As surely as I live,

when I sharpen my flashing sword

and begin to carry out justice,

I will take revenge on my enemies

and repay those who reject me.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

See, now, that I, even I am he,

and there is not a god besides me;

I put to death and I give life;

I wound and I heal;

there is not one who delivers from my hand!

For indeed I lift up my hand to heaven,

And I promise as I live forever,

When I sharpen my flashing sword,

and my hand takes hold of it in judgment,

I will take reprisals against my foes,

and my haters I will repay.

KJV 1900King James Version

See now that I, even I, am he,

And there is no god with me:

I kill, and I make alive;

I wound, and I heal:

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

For I lift up my hand to heaven,

And say, I live for ever.

If I whet my glittering sword,

And mine hand take hold on judgment;

I will render vengeance to mine enemies,

And will reward them that hate me.
