The sonnet, titled “The Soul’s Restraint in Grief’s Deep Pain, Yielding Vengeance to God’s Eternal Reign,” is a Shakespearean sonnet inspired by Romans 12:19, which urges against seeking revenge and trusting God’s justice. It explores the emotional struggle of enduring grief caused by wrongs, advocating restraint from vengeful impulses. The speaker advises clinging to faith, as God alone will judge and avenge justly. Through patience and trust in divine retribution, the heart finds peace, leaving vengeance to God’s righteous and eternal authority.

When wrong doth strike the heart with bitter sting,
Let not thy soul in vengeful fury rise,
But hold thy wrath, and to the heavens cling,
Where justice reigns beneath eternal skies.
The wounds of grief may burn with fiery pain,
Yet mortal hands must shun revenge’s call;
For God alone shall judge, His will made plain,
His righteous hand shall balance each and all.
Leave room for grace, let patience guide thy way,
And trust the Lord to right the cruelest wrong.
No deed escapes His sight, no sin’s delay,
His vengeance falls, precise, where it belongs.
So stay thy grief, and in His peace abide,
For God repays, with justice as His guide.
