19 My dear friends, don’t seek revenge, but leave it to God to execute judgment12:19. Literally, "give room to wrath."—as Scripture points out, "‘It’s for me to dispense justice, I will repay,’ says the Lord."12:19. Quoting Deuteronomy 32:35. 20 If those who hate you are hungry, give them food; if they’re thirsty, give them a drink; for by doing so you pile fiery coals on their heads.12:20. Meaning they will be caused great embarrassment and shame. The quotation is from Proverbs 25:21-22 21 Don’t be defeated by evil—conquer evil with good.
