- Genesis 34:20–31
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:
Commentary on Genesis 34:20–312 voices
Hamor and Shechem . . . came unto the gate of their city--That was the place where every public communication was made; and in the ready obsequious submission of the people to this measure we see an evidence either of the extraordinary affection for the governing family, or of the abject despotism of the East, where the will of a chief is an absolute command.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
(Chapter 34, Verse 20) And Emor and his son Sichem came to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of the city, saying, these men are peaceful with us. Where now the Septuagint translated it as 'peaceful', Aquila interpreted it as 'consummated' or 'perfected', for which in Hebrew it is read () Salamim. From this it is clear that what we said above about Salem is true.
Jerome· Hebrew Questions on Genesis, 420Patristic
- Psalms 94:1
O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
Commentary on Psalms 94:12 voices
. Ver. 1. O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; 0 God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself: or, God of retribution, Jehovah, God of retribution, shine forth! A very natural prayer when innocence is trampled down, and wickedness exalted on high.
Charles Spurgeon· The Treasury of David (1869-1885)Reformed
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth,....

- Romans 12:19
Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
Commentary on Romans 12:192 voices
Dearly beloved - So he softens the rugged spirit. Revenge not yourselves, but leave that to God. Perhaps it might more properly be rendered, leave room for wrath; that is, the wrath of God, to whom vengeance properly belongs.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
This is written lest another's wrath draw you into sin when you want to offer resistance, when you want to be avenged. You can take the fault from him and from yourself if you decide to yield to the other.
Ambrose of Milan· Letter 63.100, 397Patristic
