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 sword and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance on My enemies and will repay those who hate Me.
