Anger

You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.

If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!

His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.

You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?

His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?

This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,

This kindled the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram. He burned with anger against Job for justifying himself rather than God,

…and he burned with anger against Job’s three friends because they had failed to refute Job, and yet had condemned him.

But when he saw that the three men had no further reply, his anger was kindled.

…and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments, according to Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Refrain from anger and abandon wrath; do not fret—it can only bring harm.

A Psalm of David, for remembrance. O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger or discipline me in Your wrath.

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

…at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster upon me and resent me in their anger.

In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.

Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

A Maskil of Asaph. Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has His anger shut off His compassion?” Selah

Therefore the LORD heard and was filled with wrath; so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and His anger flared against Israel,

God’s anger flared against them, and He put to death their strongest and subdued the young men of Israel.

And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.

He cleared a path for His anger; He did not spare them from death but delivered their lives to the plague.

O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

You withheld all Your fury; You turned from Your burning anger.

Will You be angry with us forever? Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.

For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath.

Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.

So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

…when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.

A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.

He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.

A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.

A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.

Wrath is cruel and anger is like a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?

Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger.

A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.

For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”

Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness, with much sorrow, sickness, and anger.

Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.

Therefore the anger of the LORD burns against His people; His hand is raised against them to strike them down. The mountains quake, and the corpses lie like refuse in the streets. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

…and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.

Aram from the east and Philistia from the west have devoured Israel with open mouths. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Manasseh devours Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; together they turn against Judah. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Nothing will remain but to crouch among the captives or fall among the slain. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.

Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath.

For in just a little while My fury against you will subside, and My anger will turn to their destruction.”

In that day you will say: “O LORD, I will praise You. Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You have comforted me.

Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—cruel, with fury and burning anger—to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.

It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.

Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.

So He poured out on them His furious anger and the fierceness of battle. It enveloped them in flames, but they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.

In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.

I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.

Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Although I struck you in anger, yet in favor I will show you mercy.

“I have trodden the winepress alone, and no one from the nations was with Me. I trampled them in My anger and trod them down in My fury; their blood spattered My garments, and all My clothes were stained.

I trampled the nations in My anger; in My wrath I made them drunk and poured out their blood on the ground.”

For behold, the LORD will come with fire—His chariots are like a whirlwind—to execute His anger with fury and His rebuke with flames of fire.

…you say, ‘I am innocent. Surely His anger will turn from me.’ Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

Go, proclaim this message toward the north: ‘Return, O faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will no longer look on you with anger, for I am merciful,’ declares the LORD. ‘I will not be angry forever.

So put on sackcloth, mourn and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us.”

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert. All its cities were torn down before the LORD, before His fierce anger.

The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.

Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”

Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.

The LORD of Hosts, who planted you, has decreed disaster against you on account of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have brought upon themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”

They have sown wheat but harvested thorns. They have exhausted themselves to no avail. Bear the shame of your harvest because of the fierce anger of the LORD.”

Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”

And you yourself will relinquish the inheritance that I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have kindled My anger; it will burn forever.”

But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not wipe out their guilt or blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.

And I Myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm, with anger, fury, and great wrath.

The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this clearly.

Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’

‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’

The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.

He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.

And the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city will come in, set it on fire, and burn it, along with the houses of those who provoked Me to anger by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods.

For the children of Israel and of Judah have done nothing but evil in My sight from their youth; indeed, they have done nothing but provoke Me to anger by the work of their hands, declares the LORD.

…because of all the evil the children of Israel and of Judah have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their officials, their priests and prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.
