Vengeance Belongs to God
Commentators universally highlight that vengeance belongs exclusively to God. This verse, famously quoted by the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:19, serves as a foundational command for Christians to abstain from personal revenge. Instead of seeking our own retribution, we are called to entrust justice to God, who alone has the right and wisdom to repay wrongdoing.
