To me

For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
And will render vengeance on His adversaries,
And will atone for His land and His people.”

O Lord God, You to whom vengeance belongs,
O God, You to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth [in judgment]!

And He reserves wrath for His enemies.

Their foot

They will even be snared and trapped.”

Will stumble against them;
The neighbor and his friend will perish.”

Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the dark and shadowy mountains,
And while you are longing for light
He turns it into the shadow of death,
And makes it into thick darkness.

For the day

2 Peter 2:3

The things

And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approach
And come to pass, so that we may know it!”
Isaiah 30:12
Therefore, the Holy One of Israel says this,

“Because you have refused and rejected this word [of Mine]
And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,

And the least one a mighty nation.
I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.”

It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail.
Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it,
Because it will certainly come; it will not delay.

Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day.
