41 I will take revenge on my hateful enemies. I will sharpen my sword and let it flash like lightning.

42 My arrows will get drunk on enemy blood; my sword will taste the flesh and the blood of the enemy. It will kill prisoners, and cut off the heads of their leaders.” [13]

43 Tell the heavens to celebrate and all gods to bow down to the LORD, [14] because he will take revenge on those hateful enemies who killed his people. He will forgive the sins of Israel and purify their land. [15]
