See now how
that I, I am he, and that there is no God but I. I can kill and
make alive, and what I have smitten that I can heal: neither is
there that can deliver any man out of my hand. For I will lift up
my hand to heaven, and will say: I live ever. If I whet the
lightning of my sword, and mine hand take in hand to do justice, I
will shew vengeance on mine enemies and will reward them that hate
me. I will make mine arrows drunken with blood, and my sword shall
eat flesh of the blood of the slain and of the captive and of the
bare head of the enemy. Rejoice {Praise ye} heathen with his
people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will
avenge him of his adversaries, and will be merciful unto the land
of his people. And Moses went and spake all the words of this song
in the ears of the people, both he and Iosua the son of Nun. And
when Moses had spoken all these words unto the end to all Israel,
then he said unto them. Set your hearts unto all the words which I
testify unto you this day: that ye command them unto your
children, to observe and do all the words of this law. For it is
not a vain word unto you: but it is your life, and thorow this
word ye shall prolong your days in the land whither ye go over
Iordan to conquer it.
