Deuteronomy 32:41-43

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴¹when I sharpen My flashing sword,
and My hand takes hold of judgment,
I will take vengeance on My adversaries
and repay those who hate Me.
⁴²I will make My arrows drunk with blood
while My sword devours flesh—
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”^[a]

⁴³Rejoice, you nations, concerning His people,^[b]^(A)
for He will avenge the blood of His servants.^[c]
He will take vengeance on His adversaries;^[d]^(B)
He will purify His land and His people.^[e]
