بذلك استوفت العدالة الإلهية حقها

Part of a religious text...the best thing I could come up with is "exacted revenge" but that's not quite accurate...any suggestions are much appreciated.

Divine justice was duly administrated


Explanation:
I would opt for using the passive voice, as it is inappeopriate to indicate that God sought revenge as you mentioned in the question. I hope you find the answer helpful.
