35 ⌊Vengeance belongs to me
⌋* and
also recompense,
⌊for at the time their foot slips
⌋,
* because the day of their disaster
is near,
⌊and fate comes quickly for them
⌋.'
*
36 For Yahweh will judge
on behalf of his people, and concerning his servants; he will change his mind when he sees that
their power has disappeared, and
there is no one left, confined
* or free.
*
37 And he will say, 'Where
are their gods,
their rock in whom
* they took refuge?
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise
up, and let them help you;
⌊Let them be to you a refuge
⌋.
*
39 See, now, that I,
even I
am he, and there is not a god besides me; I put to death and I give life; I wound and I heal; there is not
one who delivers from my hand!
40 For
indeed I lift up my hand to heaven, And I promise
⌊as I live forever
⌋,
*
41 When I sharpen
* ⌊my flashing sword
⌋,
* and my hand takes hold
* of it in judgment,
⌊I will take reprisals against my foes
⌋,
* and my haters I will repay.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain, and captives
* from the heads
* of the leaders of
the enemy.'
43 Call for songs of joy, O nations,
concerning his people,
* for the blood of his servants he will avenge,
⌊and he will take reprisals against his foes
⌋,
* and he will make atonement
for his land, his people."
