The Peshitta differs here, rather a lot from the Greek text.
The English interlinear translation of Romans 12:19 (G.D. Bauscher) is:
"And not be you avenging you yourselves, beloved, but give place to place to rage, for it is written that if not you will execute judgment for yourself, I shall execute your judgement, says God."
The Greek text is clearly a citation of Deut 32:35
But the Aramaic source, is not a citation of the MT, nor the LXX.
So, what do you think? What was the source of Paul's citation?
