"Do not say, “I’ll do to him as he has done to me; I’ll pay that man back for what he did." Proverbs 24:29
Here is a perfect example of a human nature in contrast with godly nature. It may seem natural to feel the urge to take revenge; to defend ourselves, to point fingers, but then what difference we make from the people of this world?
Proverbs 20:22 goes hand in hand with this verse; it says: "Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you."
"It is mine to avenge; I will repay", says the Lord (Deuteronomy 32:25)
So the next time someone is rude, hurtful, let's remember these verses and keep silent, at the same time asking God to argue our case. It may look like a failure as we can't reciprocate right away; but hang in there, God will repay.
