God's Justice is Certain
The verse quotes Deuteronomy to remind readers that God is true to His word. Commentators stress that when God says "Vengeance is mine," it's not just a claim of right, but a promise of certain action. This serves as a solemn warning that sin, especially the deliberate rejection of Christ, will not go unpunished. God is patient, but His justice is inevitable.
