And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 7 of Deuteronomy. Israel receives instructions to destroy the worship sites and practices of the Canaanite nations and avoid alliances that could lead to idolatry. Religious separation is not based on a supposed moral superiority of Israel, but on election and covenant purpose. The text insists that Israel’s obedience must preserve its identity as a people consecrated to the Lord.

und vergilt denen, die ihn hassen, ins Angesicht, daß er sie umbringe, und säumt sie nicht, daß er denen vergelte ins Angesicht, die ihn hassen.
Y que da el pago en su cara al que le aborrece, destruyéndolo: ni lo dilatará al que le odia, en su cara le dará el pago.
pero a quienes lo aborrecen les da el pago en su propia cara, para destruirlos. No hace esperar a quien lo aborrece; en su propia cara le da el pago.
Mais il use directement de représailles envers ceux qui le haïssent, et il les fait périr; il ne diffère point envers celui qui le hait, il use directement de représailles.
e che fa la retribuzione in faccia a quelli che l’odiano, per distruggerli; egli non la prolunga a quelli che l’odiano, anzi la rende loro in faccia.
E retribui no rosto qualquer dos que o odeiam, fazendo-o perecer; não será tardio ao que o odeia; em seu rosto lho pagará.
向恨他的人,他必當面報應,消滅他們。凡恨他的,他必當面報應,絕不遲延。
