⁴¹ when I sharpen my flashing sword^(A)
    and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance^(B) on my adversaries
    and repay those who hate me.^(C)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,^(D)
    while my sword devours flesh:^(E)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
    the heads of the enemy leaders.”

⁶ “‘Alas, sword^(A) of the Lord,
    how long till you rest?
Return to your sheath;
    cease and be still.’^(B)
