That leadeth

If there is an injury, then you must give life for life,

The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess them as male and female slaves in the Lord’s land. They will make captives of their captors and will rule over their oppressors.

Woe, you destroyer never destroyed,
you traitor never betrayed!
When you have finished destroying,
you will be destroyed.
When you have finished betraying,
they will betray you.

For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

He that killeth

Because they poured out
the blood of the saints and the prophets,
You also gave them blood to drink;
they deserve it!

I will require the life of every animal and every man for your life and your blood. I will require the life of each man’s brother for a man’s life.

For look, the Lord is coming from His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth will reveal the blood shed on it
and will no longer conceal her slain.

Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword.

Here

I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of God’s word and the testimony about Jesus.

I know your works, your labor, and your endurance, and that you cannot tolerate evil. You have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and you have found them to be liars.

Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. But if you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you have no idea at what hour I will come against you.

This demands the perseverance of the saints, who keep God’s commands and their faith in Jesus.”

It is good to wait quietly
for deliverance from the Lord.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
it testifies about the end and will not lie.
Though it delays, wait for it,
since it will certainly come and not be late.

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

By your endurance gain your lives.

May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy

so that you won’t become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.

For you need endurance, so that after you have done God’s will, you may receive what was promised.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, so that you won’t grow weary and lose heart.

Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials,

Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains.

General references

Nevertheless, all who devoured you will be devoured,
and all your adversaries—all of them—
will go off into exile.
Those who plunder you will be plundered,
and all who raid you will be raided.

By your endurance gain your lives.
