Vengeance » The lord avenging
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves but give room unto the wrath of God. For it is written, "Vengeance is mine, and I will reward, saith the Lord."
The LORD is a jealous God, and a taker of vengeance: yea, a taker of vengeance is the LORD, and wrathful. The LORD taketh vengeance of his enemies, and reserveth displeasure for his adversaries.
For we know him that hath said, "Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord." And again, "the Lord shall judge his people."
It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.
Even the God that seeth that I be avenged, and subdueth the people unto me. {TYNDALE: It is God that avengeth me, and bringeth down the people under me.}
