The difference between God's vengeance and human vengeance is quite simply, based on the maturity of the individual meting out vengeance. God is perfect in every good attribute, but mortals are flawed. Therefore, what, in human judgment, is just vengeance, might not be so in God's eyes. Let us take a comparison of a three-year-old child who stabs another three-year-old with a very sharp pencil. It is quite believable that the injured party will exact vengeance, perhaps in excess of the initial injury. After doing so, the first injured (and now avenged) party, now feels like justice has been done. Let us suppose that instead, the injury was received by the parent. Do we think that the parent would chase that child down and do equal or greater injury in response? Of course not. That is because the parent possesses more maturity than the three-year-old. Does the parent feel the pain and injury? Of course. Would the responsible parent let the assault go un-addressed? No. In short, the parent would be more concerned about improving the child's future behavior, than exacting eye-for-an-eye vengeance. In the end, the parent is able to destroy the behavior that resulted in the assault, and reap poetic vengeance.

This is what God does. He is slow to anger, because fast tempers only address surface issues, and neglect the big picture. In order to get God to strike you with a lightning bolt, there must be a good reason for the pain, or it would not happen.
