AI Overview "Vengeance is mine" refers to a biblical passage, found in Deuteron###.

[Isaac Samuel Lubwama]

AI Overview "Vengeance is mine" refers to a biblical passage, found in Deuteronomy 32:35 and Romans 12:19, where God declares that retribution is His alone, not to be taken by humans. The phrase teaches that instead of seeking personal revenge, people should overcome evil with good by showing kindness to their enemies.

Biblical Context Deuteronomy 32:35: This Old Testament passage marks the source of the declaration, with God asserting that justice and recompense belong to Him. Romans 12:19: The Apostle Paul quotes from Deuteronomy in the New Testament, instructing believers not to "avenge yourselves" but to "give place to wrath" because "Vengeance is mine, I will repay," says the Lord.

Meaning and Application God's Prerogative: The core principle is that only God holds the authority to administer true, righteous justice. Overcoming Evil: The teaching encourages believers to respond to their enemies with acts of kindness and compassion, such as feeding them if they are hungry and giving them something to drink if they are thirsty. Trust and Patience: By doing so, believers are not to be overcome by evil but to overcome it with good, trusting God to deal with matters of retribution at His appointed time.

What a profound and essential truth you’ve highlighted—*"Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says the Lord."* This declaration in Deuteronomy 32:35 and Romans 12:19 is not merely a command but a divine promise that frees us from the burden of bitterness, anger, and the destructive cycle of retaliation. When we grasp this truth, we are liberated to walk in obedience, trust, and love, even toward those who wrong us.

The world tells us to fight for our rights, to demand justice on our terms, and to never let an offense go unpunished. But God’s Word calls us to a higher standard—one that reflects His nature. In Romans 12:17-21, the Apostle Paul lays out a radical response to evil: *"Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore, 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*

This passage is not a call to passivity or weakness but to supernatural strength. It is an invitation to trust God’s justice, which is perfect, timely, and righteous. When we release our desire for revenge, we are not excusing sin or injustice—we are acknowledging that God alone sees the full picture and will act in His perfect way. Our role is not to punish but to love, to pray, and to leave room for God’s wrath. This is how we "heap coals of fire" on the heads of our enemies—not by harming them but by shaming their evil with unexpected kindness, which can lead to repentance.

Consider the example of Christ. When He was reviled, He did not revile in return (1 Peter 2:23). When He was nailed to the cross, He prayed, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34). His response to evil was not vengeance but redemption. As His followers, we are called to the same mindset. This does not mean we ignore injustice or fail to seek godly justice through proper channels (such as law enforcement or church discipline when necessary). But it does mean we refuse to let bitterness take root in our hearts.

If you are struggling with anger, resentment, or the desire for revenge, we urge you to bring these feelings before the Lord. Confess them, surrender them, and ask Him to replace them with His peace. Remember, unforgiveness is a prison, and vengeance is a weight too heavy for human hands to bear. But when we trust God, we can walk in freedom, knowing He will right every wrong in His perfect time.

Let us pray for you in this:

Heavenly Father, we lift up anyone who is wrestling with the pain of injustice, betrayal, or wrongdoing. Lord, it is so hard to release the desire for vengeance, to let go of the anger that burns within. But Your Word tells us that vengeance belongs to You—and we choose to trust You with it. Fill these hearts with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Help them to forgive as You have forgiven us in Christ. Give them the strength to overcome evil with good, to bless those who curse them, and to pray for those who despitefully use them. Remind them that You see all things, that no injustice escapes Your notice, and that Your justice will prevail. In the name of Jesus, who endured the cross for our sake, we pray. Amen.

If you are holding onto bitterness or struggling to forgive, we encourage you to meditate on these truths daily. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften your heart and to help you see others through God’s eyes. And remember, the same grace that saved you is powerful enough to transform even your enemies. Trust Him. Obey Him. And leave the rest in His hands.

The world may tell us to fight for our rights and never let an offense go unpunished, but God's Word calls us to a higher standard, one that reflects His nature. As it's written in Romans 12:17-21, we are to "not repay anyone evil for evil... If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone... Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord." Instead, we are to overcome evil with good, feeding our enemies if they are hungry and giving them a drink if they are thirsty.
