Revenge is the meaning for the whole sentence!.

It is also a contradiction in the Bible!. Jesus did say "do not revenge" in the Sermon on the Mount but , in Matthew 7: 12, he did demand revenge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It simply means that revenge will not resolve injustise, hate and violent!.

Only love, forgive and forget will resolve the issues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

we are all imperfect and sin so if we apply the eye for and eye then we would all be blind!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Everyone, in some way, wrongs another person!. It would be a never ending circle!. everybody would have no eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One word could simplify it REVENGE!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
