Context of Hebrews 10:30

28Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. And again, “The Lord will judge His people.” 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

Commentaries on Hebrews 10:30

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Vengeance belongeth unto me - This is the saying of God, Deuteronomy 32:35, in reference to the idolatrous Gentiles, who were the enemies of his people; and is here with propriety applied to the above apostates, who, being enemies to God's ordinances, and Christ's ministry and merits, must also be enemies to Christ's people; and labor for the destruction of them, and the cause in which they are engaged. The Lord shall judge his people - That is, he shall…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30For we know him that hath said - We know who has said this - God. They knew this because it was recorded in their own sacred books.

Of this destruction God gives some notorious sinners…Read the comment
