'Adversaries' in the Bible
Therefore, the sovereign Lord who commands armies, the powerful ruler of Israel, says this: "Ah, I will seek vengeance against my adversaries, I will take revenge against my enemies.
Then the Lord provoked their adversaries to attack them, he stirred up their enemies --
Look, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and humiliated; your adversaries will be reduced to nothing and perish.
He repays them for what they have done, dispensing angry judgment to his adversaries and punishing his enemies. He repays the coastlands.
For a short time your special nation possessed a land, but then our adversaries knocked down your holy sanctuary.
As when fire ignites dry wood, or fire makes water boil, let your adversaries know who you are, and may the nations shake at your presence!
