Deuteronomy 32:41 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

39 Sachez donc que c’est moi qui suis Dieu, Et qu’il n’y a point de dieu près de moi; Je fais vivre et je fais mourir, Je blesse et je guéris, Et personne ne délivre de ma main.

40 Car je lève ma main vers le ciel, Et je dis: Je vis Éternellement!

41 Si j’aiguise l’éclair de mon épée Et si ma main saisit la justice, Je me vengerai de mes adversaires Et je punirai ceux qui me haïssent;

42 Mon épée dévorera leur chair, Et j’enivrerai mes flèches de sang, Du sang des blessés et des captifs, De la tête des chefs de l’ennemi.

43 Nations, chantez les louanges de son peuple! Car l’Éternel venge le sang de ses serviteurs, Il se venge de ses adversaires, Et il fait l’expiation pour son pays, pour son peuple.
