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.

43 Alabad, gentes, á su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza á sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, á su pueblo.
