God's Righteous Justice
Commentators universally clarify that the "vengeance" belonging to God is not personal, human revenge. Instead, it refers to His divine right and responsibility as the ultimate Judge to execute perfect justice, punish wrongdoing, and restore order. The appeal is to a court of law, not an act of malice.
