Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;
their foot will slip in due time;
for the day of their calamity is at hand,
and the things to come hasten upon them.
Rejoice, O you nations, with His people;
for He will avenge the blood of His servants
and will render vengeance on His adversaries
and will be merciful to His land and people.
Do not say, “I will recompense evil”;
but wait on the Lord, and He will save you.
Do not say, “I will do so to him as he has done to me;
I will render to the man according to his work.”
And shall not God avenge His own elect and be patient with them, who cry day and night to Him?
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”
Repay no one evil for evil. Commend what is honest in the sight of all men.
If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men.
Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to God’s wrath, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine. I will repay,” says the Lord.
For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” And again He says, “The Lord will judge His people.”
