Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

–Romans 12:17–19

It should be “people should not take revenge on others” I think. It says directly in the verse, “Do not take revenge...” Hope this helped, sorry if I am incorrect :)
