Ulangan 32:35

32:35 I will get revenge and pay them back

at the time their foot slips;

for the day of their disaster is near,

and the impending judgment ¹  is rushing upon them!”

Mazmur 94:23

94:23 He will pay them back for their sin. ² 

He will destroy them because of ³  their evil;

the Lord our God will destroy them.

Amsal 24:12

24:12 If you say, “But we did not know about this,”

does not the one who evaluates ⁴  hearts consider?

Does not the one who guards your life know?

Will he not repay each person according to his deeds? ⁵ 

[32:35]  ¹ tn Heb “prepared things,” “impending things.” See BDB 800 s.v. עָתִיד.

[94:23]  ² tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive is used in a rhetorical sense, describing an anticipated development as if it were already reality.

[94:23]  ³ tn Or “in.”

[24:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “weighs” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV) meaning “tests” or “evaluates.”

[24:12]  ⁵ sn The verse completes the saying by affirming that people will be judged responsible for helping those in mortal danger. The verse uses a series of rhetorical questions to affirm that God knows our hearts and we cannot plead ignorance.
