Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; But wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Do not say, I will repay evil; wait [expectantly] for the Lord, and He will rescue you. [II Sam. 16:12; Rom. 12:17-19; I Thess. 5:15; I Pet. 3:9.]
Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee.
Don’t say, “I’ll repay the evildoer!” Wait for the LORD, and he will save you.
Do not say, "I will repay evil." Wait for the Lord, and he will free you.
