41. I will sharpen my flashing sword,and I will take it in my hand to judge.I will punish my enemiesand pay back those who hate me.
42. My arrows will be covered with their blood;my sword will eat their flesh.The blood will flow from those who are killed and the captives.The heads of the enemy leaders will be cut off.”
43. Be happy, nations, with his people,because he will repay you for the blood of his servants.He will punish his enemies,and he will remove the sin of his land and people.
44. Moses came with Joshua son of Nun, and they spoke all the words of this song for the people to hear.
45. When Moses finished speaking these words to all Israel,
46. he said to them: “Pay careful attention to all the words I have said to you today, and command your children to obey carefully everything in these teachings.
47. These should not be unimportant words for you, but rather they mean life for you! By these words you will live a long time in the land you are crossing the Jordan River to take as your own.”
48. The Lord spoke to Moses again that same day and said,
49. “Go up the Abarim Mountains, to Mount Nebo in the country of Moab, across from Jericho. Look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as their own.
50. On that mountain that you climb, you will die and join your ancestors, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his ancestors.
51. You both sinned against me at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin, and you did not honor me as holy there among the Israelites.
52. So now you will only look at the land from far away. You will not enter the land I am giving the people of Israel.”
