Deuteronomy:32:35-42
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Vengeance is mine ,
and recompense ,
for the time when their foot shall slip ;
for the day of their calamity is at hand ,
and their doom comes swiftly .
*
For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants ,
when he sees that their power is gone ,
and there is none remaining ,
bond or free .
*
Then he will say , `
Where are their gods ,
the rock in which they took refuge ,
*
who ate the fat of their sacrifices ,
and drank the wine of their drink offering ?
Let them rise up and help you ,
let them be your protection !
* "`
See now that I ,
even I ,
am he ,
and there is no god beside me ;
I kill and I make alive ;
I wound and I heal ;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand .
*
For I lift up my hand to heaven ,
and swear ,
As I live for ever ,
*
if I whet my glittering sword ,
and my hand takes hold on judgment ,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries ,
and will requite those who hate me .
*
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 long-haired heads of the enemy .'
