Vengeance and retribution belong to me. (Vengeance is mine, I will repay.) Their foot shall slide in time, for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things to come on them come quickly.

O Jehovah, God of vengeance, God of vengeance, shine forth!

I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. They will know that I am Jehovah when I lay my vengeance on them.'

In anger and rage I will execute vengeance on the nations that have not obeyed me.

Jehovah (YHWH) is a zealous God requiring exclusive devotion (tolerates no rivals). Jehovah takes vengeance (punishment) against his adversaries. He reserves (maintains) wrath (indignation) (displeasure) against his enemies.

We know who said: Vengeance is mine; I will repay; and who also said, Jehovah will judge his people. (Deuteronomy 32:35)
