2 Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!”
Wait for the LORD, and he will avenge you.
There is a lot in the Bible about this and, while it's a really difficult concept to grasp and carry with us through our day, the days that we do will be so freeing. The idea here is that God's judgment will take care of those that do wrong and live in sin. We have our reward elsewhere! Jesus even preaches a similar message in Matthew 6 by saying those that give so others can see (earthly motives), pray so others will be impressed with their "God Vocab" (earthly motives) and those who fast so others will see how much of a struggle it is (earthly motives) have all received their reward in full, in the form of earthly blessing. Living for that final day of glory will lift you out of a lot of the stuff we tend to get stuck in!
