Best Answer

The term "payback" is not used at all in actual translations of the Hebrew and Christian texts. It appears in contemporary versions that attempt to interpret ancient concepts of retribution and vengeance into slang terms directed at younger readers. So the number of times the concept of "payback" is mentioned in The Bible depends on the specific writer, editor, or publisher's understanding of vengeance and retribution.

"Payback" is found twice in The Message version: Deuteronomy 32:34-35 and Habakkuk 2:6-8.

"Pay back" is found 26 times in the NIV.
