2 Samuel 3:39

39 And I was gentle today, though anointed king. ^bThese men, the sons of Zeruiah, are more severe than I. ^cThe Lord repay the evildoer according to his wickedness!”

Psalms 28:4

4 ^dGive to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
^erender them their due reward.

Psalms 109:5-20

5 So they ^freward me evil for good,
and hatred for my love.
6 ^gAppoint a wicked man ^hagainst him;
let an accuser stand ⁱat his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;
let his ^jprayer be counted as sin!
8 May his ^kdays be few;
may ^lanother take his ^moffice!
9 May his ⁿchildren be fatherless
and his wife a widow!
10 May his children ^owander about and beg,
^pseeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
11 May ^qthe creditor seize all that he has;
may ^rstrangers plunder the fruits of his toil!
12 Let there be none to ^sextend kindness to him,
nor any to ^tpity his fatherless children!
13 May his ^uposterity be cut off;
may his ^vname be blotted out in the second generation!
14 May ^wthe iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord,
and let not the sin of his mother be ^xblotted out!
15 ^yLet them be before the Lord continually,
that he may ^zcut off the memory of them from the earth!
16 For he did not remember to show kindness,
but pursued ^aathe poor and needy
and ^abthe brokenhearted, to put them to death.
17 ^acHe loved to curse; let curses come ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text curses have come} upon him!
He did not delight in blessing; may it be far ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it is far} from him!
18 He ^afclothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it ^agsoak ^{▼▼Revocalization; Masoretic Text it has soaked} into his body like water,
like oil into his bones!
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around him,
like a belt that he puts on every day!
20 May this be the reward of my ^aiaccusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life!

Jeremiah 15:15

15 ^ajO Lord, you know;
^akremember me and visit me,
^al, ^amand take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance take me not away;
^anknow that ^aofor your sake I bear reproach.

Jeremiah 18:19-23

19 Hear me, O Lord,
and ^aplisten to the voice of my adversaries.
20 ^aqShould good be repaid with evil?
Yet ^arthey have dug a pit for my life.
^asRemember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore ^atdeliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^auand widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
22 ^avMay a cry be heard from their houses,
when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For ^awthey have dug a pit to take me
^axand laid snares for my feet.
23 Yet ^ayyou, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
^azForgive not their iniquity,
nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
deal with them in the time of your anger.

2 Thessalonians 1:6

6 since indeed God considers it ^bajust ^bbto repay with affliction those who afflict you,
