Deuteronomy 32:40 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

38 Que comían el sebo de sus sacrificios, bebían el vino de sus libaciones? Levántense, que os ayuden y os defiendan.

39 Ved ahora que yo, yo soy, y no hay dioses conmigo: yo hago morir, y yo hago vivir: yo hiero, y yo curo: y no hay quien pueda librar de mi mano.

40 Cuando yo alzaré á los cielos mi mano, y diré: Vivo yo para siempre,

41 Si afilare mi reluciente espada, y mi mano arrebatare el juicio, yo volveré la venganza á mis enemigos, y daré el pago á los que me aborrecen.

42 Embriagaré de sangre mis saetas, y mi espada devorará carne: en la sangre de los muertos y de los cautivos de las cabezas, con venganzas de enemigo.
