Job 16:10

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

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.”

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

I gave my back to those who beat me, and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair. I didn’t hide my face from shame and spitting.

The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.

Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.”

He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, why do you turn back again to the weak and miserable elemental principles, to which you desire to be in bondage all over again?
