לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה אֲנִ֖י נָשָׂ֣אתִי אֶת־יָדִ֑י אִם־לֹ֤א הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר לָכֶ֣ם מִסָּבִ֔יב הֵ֖מָּה כְּלִמָּתָ֥ם יִשָּֽׂאוּ׃
Karena itu beginilah firman Tuhan Yang Mahakekal: Aku telah mengangkat tangan-Ku bersumpah: Sungguh, bangsa-bangsa yang ada di sekelilingmu, merekalah yang akan menanggung cela mereka sendiri.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 32:40) "For I shall raise My hand (in oath) to heaven": When the Holy One Blessed be He created man, He did so by pronouncement (ma'amar) and not by oath. And who caused Him to swear? Those lacking in faith. As it is written (Psalms 106:26-27) "And He lifted up His hand to cast them down in the desert and to cast down their seed among the nations."
