New American Bible (Revised Edition)
33 As I live—oracle of the Lord God—with mighty hand and outstretched arm, with wrath poured out, I swear I will be king over you!(A) 34 With mighty hand and outstretched arm, with wrath poured out, I will bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries over which you are scattered;(B) 35 [a]I will lead you to the wilderness of the peoples and enter into judgment with you face to face.
