Is god

But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law,

so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

So then, He shows mercy to those He wants to, and He hardens those He wants to harden.

Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for His wrath. For it is written: Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,

says the Lord.

See now that I alone am He;
there is no God but Me.
I bring death and I give life;
I wound and I heal.
No one can rescue anyone from My hand.

The righteous one will rejoice
when he sees the retribution;
he will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

Lord, God of vengeance—
God of vengeance, appear.

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance
and is fierce in wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance against His foes;
He is furious with His enemies.
