³⁹ ‘Now see that ^(A)I, even I, am He,
And ^(B)there is no God besides Me;
^(C)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 (D)If I ^[a]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.” ’

⁵ “For ^(A)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it ^(B)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
