ADVICE
Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord
BY AllenRoy on March 9, 2019
With a little editing and tweaking, St. Paul inspires 6 words, befitting this Ides of March theme. He actually writes, in his Letter to the Romans (12:19 KJV), "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath, for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." He is actually quoting Deuteronomy 32:35 (KJV), which says it slightly differently, but gives another good six-word quote:
"To me belongeth vengeance and recompence".
And if we further examine St. Paul's we can find 3 more (one similar) six-word quotes:
"it is written, Vengeance is mine"
"I will repay, saith the Lord"
"Vengeance is mine; I will repay".
This is good advice for the broken-hearted and betrayed: leave it to God and time.
And that is my concluding six-word advice this Sunday evening.
"Leave it to God and time"

"Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you." -Isaiah 35:4
Your God will come with vengeance
He will come and save you
