Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto the wrath {\i of God}: for it is written, {\b Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense,} saith the Lord.
Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth {\i wrath} for his enemies.
My lovingkindness, and my fortress,\par\tab My high tower, and my deliverer;\par\tab My shield, and he in whom I take refuge;\par\tab Who subdueth my people under me.
Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
