Psalm 91:7-8

Though a thousand fall at your side,

    though ten thousand are dying around you,

    these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

    and see how the wicked are punished.

 

Deuteronomy 32:35

Psalm 37:34  

Put your hope in the LORD.

    Travel steadily along his path.

He will honor you by giving you the land.

    You will see the wicked destroyed.  (see all Psalm 37)

Jeremiah 11:20  

O LORD of Heaven's Armies,

you make righteous judgments,

    and you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.

Let me see your vengeance against them,

    for I have committed my cause to you.  (see verses 18-23)

Romans 12:17-21  Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

    Dear Friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say,

    "I will take revenge;

        I will pay them back,"

        says the LORD.  (Deuteronomy 32:35)

Instead,

    "If your enemies are hungry, feed them.

        If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.

    In doing this, you will heap

       burning coals of shame on their heads."  (Proverbs 25:21-22)

Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.  (see verses 9-21)
