Root and etymology
נ־ק־ם
“to avenge”
In context — Jeremiah 20:10
For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side. “Report,” they say, “and let us report him.” All the men of my peace are waiting for my stumbling, saying, “Perhaps he will be enticed, and we can prevail against him, and we will take our vengeance from him.”
