Deuteronomy 32:39

The Vindication of the Lord

39 “See now that I, indeed I, am he!” says the Lord, ^{▼▼ Verses 39–42 appear to be a quotation of the Lord and so the introductory phrase “says the Lord” is supplied in the translation for clarity.}
“and there is no other god besides me.
I kill and give life,
I smash and I heal,
and none can resist ^{▼▼ Heb “deliver from” (so NRSV, NLT).} my power.
