36 For the Lord will judge His people,and relent in regard to His servants,when He sees that their power is goneand there is no one left, whether restrained or free.
37 He will say: Where are their gods,their rock in whom they trusted,
38 which ate the fat of their sacrificesand drank the wine of their drink offerings?Let them rise up and help youand be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am He,and there is no god besides Me;I kill, and I make alive;I wound, and I heal;there is no one who can deliver out of My hand.
40 For I lift up My hand to heaven,and say: As I live forever,
41 if I sharpen My flashing swordand My hand takes hold on judgment,I will render vengeance on My enemiesand 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 of the captives,from the heads of the leaders of the enemies.
