But if there is harm, then you shall requite soul for soul;

burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

And the people shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and maids. And they shall make captives of their captors; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

Woe to the destroyer, and you have not been destroyed; and the betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you.

For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever gauge you measure, it will be measured back to you.

for they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, for they are deserving.

Surely the blood of your souls will I require; at the hand of every living thing will I require it, and at the hand of man. At the hand of every man's brother I will require the soul of man.

Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

For behold, Jehovah comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

But Jesus said to him, Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.

I, John, both your brother and companion in the affliction and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos because of the Word of God and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ.

I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them to be liars;

I know your works, and love, and service, and faith, and patience and your works; and the last being more than the first.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not at all know what hour I will come upon you.

Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

Here is the perseverance of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it speaks forth to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because it will come and take place; it will not tarry.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not faint,

And there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me from my adversary.

yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, that she not weary me by her continual coming.

And shall God not avenge His elect who cry out day and night to Him, as He is patient with them?

By your steadfastness possess your souls.

strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy;

that you do not become slothful, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not linger.

For consider Him who endured such opposition from sinners against Himself, that you not become weary and faint in your souls.

You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

But let patience have its perfecting work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

You also be patient. Make your hearts firm, for the coming of the Lord draws near.
