Midrash sur Jérémie 16:18
וְשִׁלַּמְתִּ֣י רִֽאשׁוֹנָ֗ה מִשְׁנֵ֤ה עֲוֺנָם֙ וְחַטָּאתָ֔ם עַ֖ל חַלְּלָ֣ם אֶת־אַרְצִ֑י בְּנִבְלַ֤ת שִׁקּֽוּצֵיהֶם֙ וְתוֹעֲב֣וֹתֵיהֶ֔ם מָלְא֖וּ אֶת־נַחֲלָתִֽי׃ (ס)
Et d’abord je paierai en double leurs méfaits et leurs fautes, puisqu’ils ont déshonore mon pays et rempli mon domaine de l’infamie de leurs abominations et de leurs horreurs.
Sifrei Devarim
It is not written "Mine is revenge and I shall pay," but "Mine is revenge and payment." I pay for their deeds and for the deeds of their fathers before Me, as it is written (Isaiah 65:6-7) "I will repay into their bosom, your sins and the sins of your fathers together … and I will mete out (payment for) their deeds first into their bosom."
