Deuteronomy 32:40-42

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁰ For I lift up my hand to heaven,
    and swear: As I live forever,
⁴¹ when I whet my flashing sword,
    and my hand takes hold on judgment;
I will take vengeance on my adversaries,
    and will repay those who hate me.
⁴² 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 enemy.
