Vengeance a Divine Prerogative
Hebrews 10:30
For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.


A person happened to complain in the hearing of a pious man of some conduct which had been manifested towards him by his neighbours, and concluded by saying that he had a large portion of vengeance in store for them. "You have stolen it, then," was the answer, "for I know it does not belong to you of right, because God says, 'Vengeance is Mine; I will repay.'"
