Do not say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
KJV
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.

Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me,.... He has falsely accused and reproached me, and bore a false testimony, or suborned false witnesses against me, and I will do the same to him, now an opportunity serves; but as private revenge itself is sinful, so especially when it is pursued in a wicked way;
I will render to the man according to his work; this should be left to the Lord, whose prerogative it is; see
Pro 24:19
