39 “See now that I myself am he!(A)
    There is no god besides me.(B)
I put to death(C) and I bring to life,(D)
    I have wounded and I will heal,(E)
    and no one can deliver out of my hand.(F)
40 I lift my hand(G) to heaven and solemnly swear:
    As surely as I live forever,(H)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(I)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(J) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.(K)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(L)
    while my sword devours flesh:(M)
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 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.
