39 See now how it is I, even I that am God, and there is no God with me. It is I that kill and make alive again, I wound and heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand. ⟨p. 1166⟩40 For I lift up my hand to heaven: and as for me, I live for ever. 41 If I whet the edge of my sword, and my hand lay hold of Judgement: I will execute vengeance upon mine adversaries, and pay them their hire which hate me. 42 I will make mine arrows drunken with blood, and my sword shall devour the bloody flesh of the slain, and of the prisoners at the beginning of the vengeance of the enemies. 43 Ye nations praise you his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and yield vengeance to his adversaries: but he will be favourable to his own land, and to his own people.
