Deuteronomy 32:39-41
Easy-to-Read Version
39 “‘Now, see that I, and only I, am God!
There is no other God!
I put people to death,
and I let people live.
I can hurt people,
and I can make them well.
No one can save another person from my power!
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and make this promise.
As surely as I live forever, these things will happen!
41 I swear,
I will sharpen my flashing sword.
I will use it to punish my enemies.
I will give them the punishment they deserve.
Deuteronomy 32:39-41
New American Standard Bible
39 (A)See now that I, I am He,
(B)And there is no god besides Me;
(C)It is I who put to death and give life.
(D)I have wounded and it is I who heal,
(E)And there is no one who can save anyone from My hand.
40 Indeed, (F)I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, as I live forever,
41 (G)If I have sharpened [a]My flashing sword,
And My hand has taken hold of justice,
(H)I will return vengeance on My adversaries,
And I will repay those who hate Me.
