Deuteronomy 32:41-43
Holman Christian Standard Bible
41 when I sharpen My flashing sword,
and My hand takes hold of judgment,
I will take vengeance on My adversaries
and repay those who hate Me.
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood
while My sword devours flesh—
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”[a]
43 Rejoice, you nations, concerning His people,[b](A)
for He will avenge the blood of His servants.[c]
He will take vengeance on His adversaries;[d](B)
He will purify His land and His people.[e]

Jeremiah 46:10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Hosts,
a day of vengeance to avenge Himself
against His adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satisfied;
it will drink its fill of their blood,
because it will be a sacrifice(A) to the Lord, the God of Hosts,
in the northern land by the Euphrates River.
Ezekiel 21:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 and say to it: This is what the Lord says: I am against you.(A) I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off both the righteous and the wicked from you. 4 Since I will cut off[a] both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will therefore come out of its sheath against everyone from the south to the north.(B) 5 So all the people will know that I, Yahweh, have taken My sword from its sheath—it will not be sheathed again.(C)
