³⁰ For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

³⁵ Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.

³⁶ For the Lord will be judge of his people, he will have pity for his servants; when he sees that their power is gone, there is no one, shut up or free.

¹⁹ Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

¹⁴ For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

² The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.

⁴ His voice will go out to the heavens and to the earth, for the judging of his people:

¹⁰ For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

⁴ For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

¹⁷ And as for you, O my flock, says the Lord, truly, I will be judge between sheep and sheep, the he-sheep and the he-goats.

³⁰ For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

⁴ For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.

² To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

¹⁷ Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.

⁹ Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.

¹³ Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.

¹ O God, in whose hands is punishment, O God of punishment, let your shining face be seen.
