Some people have done you really bad to the extent that you didn’t want anything to do with them whether on the contrast of purpose or not .
They treated you in a way they were not supposed to treat you.. possibly they would have treated you better than the way they treated you and as a result of how they treated you .. you are also considering to take revenge in like manner with the same attitudes and way they treated you.
One of the thing’s that the people of Edom did is that they did something stupid which they were not supposed to do in like manner. Ezekiel 25:12-13
[12]Thus says the Lord God: Because Edom has dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance and has greatly offended and has become doubly guilty by taking revenge upon them[13]Therefore thus says the Lord God: I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and will cut off and root out man and beast from it, and I will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they shall fall by the sword.
They were not supposed to do as they idealised to do… they acted vengefully against the people of Judah and as a result it brought about their fall..
