Deuteronomy 32:41-52 ▼

41 if I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will turn back vengeance to My enemies and those who hate Me I will repay.

42 I will make drunk My arrows with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and captives, from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.”

43 Rejoice, O heavens, with Him,

and let all God’s angels worship Him., Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for the blood of His children He will avenge, and vengeance He will return on His adversaries

and He will repay those who hate Him, and He will provide atonement for His land—His people.

44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people—he and Joshua son of Nun.

45 And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

46 and He said to them, “Set your? hearts on all the words that I testify among you? today, which you? shall command your? sons to be careful to do—all the words of this law.

47 For it is not a futile thing for you?, because it is your? life, and by this word you? shall prolong days in the land that there you? are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”

48 And YHWH spoke to Moses this same day, saying,

49 “Go up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel as a possession.

50 And die on the mountain that you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,

51 upon that you? trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, upon that you? did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.

52 Yet from a distance you shall see the land, and there you shall not go into the land that I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
