Deuteronomy 32:39-41

International Standard Version

³⁹ “Look now! I AM,^[a]
    and there is no other god besides me.
I myself cause death
    and I sustain life;
I wound severely
    and I also heal;
        from my power^[b] no one can deliver.

⁴⁰ “I solemnly swear^[c] to heaven—
    I say ‘As certainly as I’m alive and living forever,
⁴¹ I’ll whet my shining sword,
    with my hands in firm grasp of judgment.
I’ll show vengeance on my adversary
    and repay those who keep on hating me.
