nSee Gen. 14:22
Deuteronomy 32:35-42
35 aVengeance is mine, and recompense, ▼▼Septuagint and I will repay
cfor the time when their foot shall slip;
for dthe day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36For ethe Lord will vindicate ▼
▼Septuagint judge
his peoplegand have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, hbond or free.
37Then he will say, i‘Where are their gods,
jthe rock in which they took refuge,
38who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that kI, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
lI kill and I make alive;
mI wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40For nI lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41if I osharpen my flashing sword ▼
▼Hebrew the lightning of my sword
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and qmy sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the rlong-haired heads of the enemy.’
