Deuteronomy 32:42 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

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.

44 Moïse vint et prononça toutes les paroles de ce cantique en présence du peuple; Josué, fils de Nun, était avec lui.
