39 “See now that I myself am he!

There is no god besides me.

I put to death and I bring to life,

I have wounded and I will heal,

and no one can deliver out of my hand.

40 I lift my hand to heaven and solemnly swear:

As surely as I live forever,

41 when I sharpen my flashing sword

and my hand grasps it in 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.”

39 “ ‘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.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven

and swear, As I live forever,

41 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.

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 heads of the enemy.’

39 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.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven,

And say, I live for ever.

41 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.

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.

39 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!

40 Now I raise my hand to heaven

and declare, “As surely as I live,

41 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.

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.” ’

39 ‘Now see that I, even I, am He,

And there is no God besides Me;

I kill and I make alive;

I wound and I heal;

Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

40 For I raise My hand to heaven,

And say, “As I live forever,

41 If 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.” ’

39 “Now you will see that I am the one God!

There is no god but me.

I send life and death;

I can hurt, and I can heal.

No one can escape from me.

40 I raise my hand toward heaven and make this promise:

As surely as I live forever,

41 I will sharpen my flashing sword,

and I will take it in my hand to judge.

I will punish my enemies

and pay back those who hate me.

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.”

39 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;

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

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven,

And say, As I live for ever,

41 If I whet my glittering sword,

And my hand take hold on judgment;

I will render vengeance to mine adversaries,

And will recompense them that hate me.

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.

39 See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand, 40 For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever! 41 If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me. 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.

39 See, I am the only God. 

There are no others. 

I kill, and I make alive. 

I wound, and I heal, 

and no one can rescue you from my power. 

40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly swear: 

As surely as I live forever, 

41 I will sharpen my flashing sword 

and take justice into my own hands. 

Then I will take revenge on my enemies 

and pay back those who hate me. 

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. 

39 See now that I alone am He;

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 hand.

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.”

39 See now that I, even I, am he;

there is no god besides me.

I kill and I make alive;

I wound and I heal;

and no one can deliver from my hand.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven,

and swear: As I live forever,

41 when I whet my flashing sword,

and my hand takes hold on judgment;

I will take vengeance on my adversaries,

and will 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 long-haired enemy.

39 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!

40 For indeed I lift up my hand to heaven,

And I promise as I live forever,

41 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.

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.’

39 “Look! I am the One!

There is no other God except me.

I put some people to death. I bring others to life.

I have wounded, and I will heal.

No one can save you from my powerful hand.

40 I raise my hand to heaven. Here is the oath I take.

You can be sure that I live forever.

41 And you can be just as sure

that I will sharpen my flashing sword.

My hand will hold it when I judge.

I will get even with my enemies.

I will pay back those who hate me.

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.”
