Deu 32:40 | MHM | STEP | v. 40-42 : God warns His enemies with strong words. He lifts His hand to heaven and swears by Himself that He will bring judgment on those who hate Him (Deuteronomy 32:40 ). This is a serious oath, showing that His promise to punish evil will surely happen (Genesis 14:22 ). God prepares His sword for judgment ( the glittering sword is whet ), giving people time to repent before it is too late (Psalm 7:12 ). When God acts, His judgment will be terrible. The sword will bring much death, and the arrows will be drunk with blood . No one, from the highest king to the lowest slave among His enemies, will escape (Jeremiah 50:35-37 ). When God’s anger is poured out, it will be complete and unstoppable (Revelation 14:20 ).

‏ Deuteronomy 32:40

v. 40-42: God warns His enemies with strong words. He lifts His hand to heaven and swears by Himself that He will bring judgment on those who hate Him (Deuteronomy 32:40 ^a). This is a serious oath, showing that His promise to punish evil will surely happen (Genesis 14:22 ^b). God prepares His sword for judgment (the glittering sword is whet), giving people time to repent before it is too late (Psalm 7:12 ^c). When God acts, His judgment will be terrible. The sword will bring much death, and the arrows will be drunk with blood. No one, from the highest king to the lowest slave among His enemies, will escape (Jeremiah 50:35-37 ^d). When God’s anger is poured out, it will be complete and unstoppable (Revelation 14:20 ^e).
