• Solemn indeed is the title taken by the offended God of despised Jacob in this section: “The Lord God of recompenses.” How seldom do men in general think of Him in this character! In the 24th verse He had declared that He would do unto Babylon and Chaldea “all their evil that they had done to Zion.” Here He reveals Himself in a special way as the God of vengeance. In Ps. 94:1 the remnant of Israel are heard addressing Him in this way: “O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.” And in the New Testament the apostle Paul reminds us that He has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay [or, recompense], saith the Lord” (Rom. 12:19; Heb. 10:30; Deut. 32:35). Because of this he entreats the suffering Christians to avenge not themselves, but rather give place unto wrath. It is never necessary for the child of God to be occupied with the thought of self-preservation, or self-vindication. He can afford to leave all in the hands of “the Lord God of recompenses.” (“Chapter 25” by H.A. Ironside)

• It was because of this principle that Jeremiah had ever counseled submission and obedience to the king of Babylon. He would have His people accept the affliction as from the Lord, and leave with Him the matter of dealing with the oppressing power in His own way and time. It was given to the same prophet to set forth that judgment, and to make known the nature of the recompense that had been decreed (“Chapter 25” by H.A. Ironside)
