Deuteronomy 32:35–43

³⁵Vengeance is Mine; I will repay.ⁱ

In due time their foot will slip;

for their day of disaster is near,

and their doom is coming quickly.”

³⁶For the LORD will vindicate His people^j

and have compassion on His servants

when He sees that their strength is gone

and no one remains, slave or free.

³⁷He will say: “Where are their gods,

the rock in which they took refuge,

³⁸which ate the fat of their sacrifices

and drank the wine of their drink offerings?

Let them rise up and help you;

let them give you shelter!

³⁹See now that I am He;

there is no God besides Me.

I bring death and I give life;

I wound and I heal,

and there is no one

who can deliver from My hand.

⁴⁰For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare:

As surely as I live forever,

⁴¹when I sharpen My flashing sword,

and My hand grasps it in 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 captives,

the heads of the enemy leaders.”

⁴³Rejoice, [O heavens, with Him,

and let all God’s angels worship Him.]^k

Rejoice, O nations, with His people;^l

for He will avenge the blood of His children.^m

He will take vengeance on His adversaries

[and repay those who hate Him];ⁿ

He will cleanse His land

and His people.
