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.

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

The Lord is at Your right hand; He will crush kings in the day of His wrath.

…they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;

…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.

Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.

A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.

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’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

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

Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,

…or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.

Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

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

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

An angry man stirs up dissension, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.

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

Your neck is like a tower made of ivory; your eyes are like the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim; your nose is like the tower of Lebanon, facing toward Damascus.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,

Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

…their signet rings and nose rings;

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.

I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.

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.

And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.

Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’

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.

For the sake of My name I will delay My wrath; for the sake of My praise I will restrain it, so that you will not be cut off.

Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
