Adonibezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off have picked up scraps under my table. God has now done to me what I did to them." He was taken to Jerusalem, where he died.

O LORD, you are faithful to those who are faithful to you; completely good to those who are perfect.

You are pure to those who are pure, but hostile to those who are wicked.

Remember, LORD, what the Edomites did the day Jerusalem was captured. Remember how they kept saying, "Tear it down to the ground!"

Babylon, you will be destroyed. Happy are those who pay you back for what you have done to us---

The LORD says, "You will see me repay Babylonia and its people for all the evil they did to Jerusalem.

"The day is near when I, the LORD, will judge all nations. Edom, what you have done will be done to you. You will get back what you have given.

He also said to them, "Pay attention to what you hear! The same rules you use to judge others will be used by God to judge you---but with even greater severity.

Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands---all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you."

Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop.

God will do what is right: he will bring suffering on those who make you suffer,

and he will give relief to you who suffer and to us as well. He will do this when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven with his mighty angels,

For God will not show mercy when he judges the person who has not been merciful; but mercy triumphs over judgment.

Treat her exactly as she has treated you; pay her back double for all she has done. Fill her cup with a drink twice as strong as the drink she prepared for you.
