Isaiah 5:20-23 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight! Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine, and valiant men in mixing strong drink, who justify the wicked FOR A BRIBE, AND TAKE AWAY THE RIGHTS OF THE ONES WHO ARE IN THE RIGHT!
VENGEANCE occurs 39 times in the King James Version of the Bible, 45 in the NASB95.
Take heart! We all love seeing justice done!
Deuteronomy 32:35 Vengeance is Mine…
Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the Lord’s vengeance… (soon, oh Lord, soon!)
Isaiah 35:4 Say to those with an anxious heart, “Take courage, fear not. Behold your God will come with vengeance…
And my favorite:
Romans 12:19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.
…and oh, what a great and terrible day it will be.
