Deuteronomy 32:36-47
New International Version
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(A)
and relent(B) concerning his servants(C)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(D) or free.[a]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(E)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(F)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(G)
There is no god besides me.(H)
I put to death(I) and I bring to life,(J)
I have wounded and I will heal,(K)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(L)
40 I lift my hand(M) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(N)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(O)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(P) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(Q)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(R)
while my sword devours flesh:(S)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(T) you nations, with his people,[b][c]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(U)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(V)
and make atonement for his land and people.(W)
44 Moses came with Joshua[d](X) son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,(Y) so that you may command(Z) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(AA) By them you will live long(AB) in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Deuteronomy 32:36-47
King James Version
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where 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 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.
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.
44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
