39 See now that I alone am he; there is no God but me. ⓚ I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal. No one can rescue anyone from my power. ⓛ

40 I raise my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,

41 when I sharpen my flashing sword, and my hand takes hold of judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me.
