    With respect to 2Cr 7:11: “…meting out of justice; doing justice to all parties. See on Luk 18:3; 21:22. The word has, however, the sense of requital (see on Rom 12:19; compare 2Th 1:8), and carries with it, etymologically, the sense of of vindication, as Luk 18:7-8.” (Marvin Vincent, Word Studies in the New Testament, 3:329)
