Retributive

Don’t say, “I will avenge this evil!” 

Wait on the Lord, and he will rescue you.
Differing weights are detestable to the Lord,
and dishonest scales are unfair.
Proverbs 20:22-23

A kind man benefits himself,

but a cruel person brings ruin on himself.
The wicked person earns an empty wage,
but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.
Genuine righteousness leads to life,
but pursuing evil leads to death.
Those with twisted minds are detestable to the Lord,
but those with blameless conduct are his delight.
Be assured that a wicked person
will not go unpunished…

Proverbs 11:18-21

Restorative

The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy. Proverbs 28:13

Where have you been wronged?

Where have you caused harm?
