Deuteronomy 32:41
Compare all
39 ‘Now see that aI, even I, am He,
And bthere is no God besides Me;
cI kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand. 
40 For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, “As I live forever,
41 aIf I1 whet My glittering sword,
And My hand takes hold on judgment,
I will render vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me. 
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword shall devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the heads of the leaders of the enemy.” ’
43 “Rejoice,a O Gentiles, with His people;
For He will bavenge the blood of His servants,
And render vengeance to His adversaries;
He cwill provide atonement for His land and His people.”

If I whet my sword - If once I begin to prepare for war and for the execution of my sentence. Judgment - Of the instruments of judgment, of the weapons of war. A metaphor from warriors, that take their weapons into their hand, when they intend to fight.
