For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

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
