'Vengeance' in the Bible

Who say, “Let Him move speedily, let Him expedite His work [His promised vengeance], so that we may see it;And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approachAnd come to pass, so that we may know it!”

For the Lord has a day of vengeance,A year of retribution for the cause of Zion.

Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart,“Be strong, fear not!Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly];The retribution of God will come,But He will save you.”

The Lord will go forth like a warrior,He will stir up His zeal like a man of war;He will shout out, yes, He will raise a war cry.He will prevail [mightily] against His enemies.

“Your nakedness will be uncovered,Your shame will also be exposed;I will take vengeance and will spare no man.”

For He [the Lord] put on righteousness like a coat of armor,And salvation like a helmet on His head;He put on garments of vengeance for clothingAnd covered Himself with zeal [and great love for His people] as a cloak.

To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord,And the day of vengeance and retribution of our God,To comfort all who mourn,

“For the day of vengeance [against ungodliness] was in My heart,And My year of redemption [of those who put their trust in Me—the year of My redeemed] has come.
