Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in [due] time; For the day of their calamity [is] at hand, And the things to come hasten upon them.'

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs -- O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!

For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn,

For the day of vengeance [is] in My heart, And the year of My redeemed has come.

God [is] jealous, and the LORD avenges; The LORD avenges and [is] furious. The LORD will take vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves [wrath] for His enemies;

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but [rather] give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to [execute] wrath on him who practices evil.

"For the LORD will judge His people And have compassion on His servants, When He sees that [their] power is gone, And [there is] no one [remaining,] bond or free.

He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people:

For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.

For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, And the peoples with equity.

For the LORD will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants.

" Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways," says the Lord GOD. "Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.

' And [as for] you, O My flock, thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
