anger / anger of God |
The priests, too, who approach the LORD must sanctify themselves; else he will vent his anger upon them. [EX 19:22] The LORD repeated, "Go down now! Then come up again along with Aaron. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD; else he will vent his anger upon them." [EX 19:24] Thus the LORD passed before him and cried out, "The LORD, the LORD, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity" [Taken from EX 34:6] 'The LORD is slow to anger and rich in kindness, forgiving wickedness and crime; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, but punishing children to the third and fourth generation for their fathers' wickedness.' [NUM 14:18] So in his anger with the Israelites the LORD made them wander in the desert forty years, until the whole generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD had died out. [NUM 32:13] For I dreaded the fierce anger of the LORD against you: his wrath would destroy you. Yet once again the LORD listened to me. [DEUT 9:19] In his furious wrath and tremendous anger the LORD uprooted them from their soil and cast them out into a strange land, where they are today. [Taken from DEUT 29:27] At that time my anger will flare up against them; I will forsake them and hide my face from them, so that they will become a prey to be devoured, and many evils and troubles will befall them. At that time they will indeed say, 'Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have befallen us?' [DEUT 31:17] When the LORD saw this, he was filled with loathing and anger toward his sons and daughters. [DEUT 32:19] If you transgress the covenant of the LORD, your God, which he enjoined on you, serve other gods and worship them, the anger of the LORD will flare up against you and you will quickly perish from the good land which he has given you. [JOSH 23:16] The anger of the LORD flared up against Israel, and he delivered them over to plunderers who despoiled them. He allowed them to fall into the power of their enemies round about whom they were no longer able to withstand. [Taken from JUDG 2:14] But the LORD was angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there before God. [2SAM 6:7] The LORD, therefore, became angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice [1KGS 11:9] Because of the sins Jeroboam committed and caused Israel to commit, by which he provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger. [Taken from 1KGS 15:30] Because he had humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned from him so that it did not destroy him completely; and in Judah, moreover, good deeds were found. [2CHRON 12:12] Be not obstinate, as your fathers were; extend your hands to the LORD and come to his sanctuary that he has consecrated forever, and serve the LORD, your God, that he may turn away his burning anger from you. [2CHRON 30:8] On behalf of myself and those who are left in Israel and Judah, go, consult the LORD concerning the words of the book that has been found. For the anger of the LORD has been set furiously ablaze against us, since our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD and have not done all that is written in this book. [2CHRON 34:21] Because they have abandoned me and have offered incense to other gods, provoking me by every deed that they have performed, my anger is ablaze against this place and cannot be extinguished. [2CHRON 34:25] But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his warnings, and scoffed at his prophets, until the anger of the LORD against his people was so inflamed that there was no remedy. [2CHRON 36:16] They refused to obey and no longer remembered the miracles you had worked for them. They stiffened their necks and turned their heads to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God of pardons, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in mercy; you did not forsake them. [NEH 9:17] You cannot plumb the depths of the human heart or grasp the workings of the human mind; how then can you fathom God, who has made all these things, discern his mind, and understand his plan? No, my brothers, do not anger the Lord our God. [JDTH 8:14] Therefore, the Place itself, having shared in the people's misfortunes, afterward participated in their good fortune; and what the Almighty had forsaken in his anger was restored in all its glory, once the great Sovereign became reconciled. [2MACC 5:20] He removes the mountains before they know it; he overturns them in his anger. [JOB 9:5] So that you turn your anger against God and let such words escape your mouth! [JOB 15:13] You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be neglected on your account (or the rock be moved out of its place)? [JOB 18:4] The flood shall sweep away his house with the waters that run off in the day of God's anger. [JOB 20:28] How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does destruction come upon them, the portion he allots in his anger? [JOB 21:17] With his angry breath he scatters the waters, and he hurls the lightning against them relentlessly; His hand pierces the fugitive dragon as from his hand it strives to flee. [JOB 26:13] But now that you have done otherwise, God's anger punishes, nor does he show concern that a man will die. [JOB 35:15] The impious in heart lay up anger for themselves; they cry not for help when he enchains them; Therefore they expire in youth, and perish among the reprobate. [JOB 36:13-14] Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God! [PS 2:11] Do not reprove me in your anger, LORD, nor punish me in your wrath. [PS 6:2] Rise up, LORD, in your anger; rise against the fury of my foes. Wake to judge as you have decreed. [PS 7:7] God is a just judge, who rebukes in anger every day. [PS 7:12] At the time of your coming you will drive them into a furnace. Then the LORD'S anger will consume them, devour them with fire. [PS 21:10] Do not hide your face from me; do not repel your servant in anger. You are my help; do not cast me off; do not forsake me, God my savior! [PS 27:9] For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing. [PS 30:6] Give up your anger, abandon your wrath; do not be provoked; it brings only harm. [PS 37:8] LORD, punish me no more in your anger; in your wrath do not chastise me! [PS 38:2] My flesh is afflicted because of your anger; my frame aches because of my sin. [PS 38:4] O God, you rejected us, broke our defenses; you were angry but now revive us. [PS 60:3] Why, God, have you cast us off forever? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture? [Taken from PS 74:1] So terrible and awesome are you; who can stand before you and your great anger? [PS 76:8] But God is merciful and forgave their sin; he did not utterly destroy them. Time and again he turned back his anger, unwilling to unleash all his rage. [PS 78:38] LORD of hosts, how long will you burn with anger while your people pray? [PS 80:5] You withdrew all your wrath, turned back your burning anger. [PS 85:4] But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, most loving and true. [PS 86:15] Truly we are consumed by your anger, filled with terror by your wrath. [PS 90:7] Who comprehends your terrible anger? Your wrath matches the fear it inspires. [PS 90:11] Therefore I swore in my anger: "They shall never enter my rest." [PS 95:11] Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in kindness. God does not always rebuke, nurses no lasting anger, Has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our deeds deserve. [PS 103:8-10] He would have decreed their destruction, had not Moses, the chosen leader, Withstood him in the breach to turn back his destroying anger. [PS 106:23] So the LORD grew angry with his people, abhorred his own heritage. [PS 106:40] The LORD is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love. [PS 145:8] The fool immediately shows his anger, but the shrewd man passes over an insult. [PROV 12:16] A mild answer calms wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. [PROV 15:1] It is good sense in a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense. [PROV 19:11] A secret gift allays anger, and a concealed present, violent wrath. [PROV 21:14] The mouth of the adulteress is a deep pit; he with whom the LORD is angry will fall into it. [PROV 22:14] The fool gives vent to all his anger; but by biding his time, the wise man calms it. [PROV 29:11] For the stirring of milk brings forth curds, and the stirring of anger brings forth blood. [PROV 30:33] Should the anger of the ruler burst upon you, forsake not your place; for mildness abates great offenses. [ECCL 10:4] But you, our God, are good and true, slow to anger, and governing all with mercy. [WISDOM 15:1] One cannot justify unjust anger; anger plunges a man to his downfall. [SIRACH 1:19] A hungry man grieve not, a needy man anger not [SIRACH 4:2] For mercy and anger alike are with him; upon the wicked alights his wrath. [SIRACH 5:7] Insolence is not allotted to a man, nor stubborn anger to one born of woman. [SIRACH 10:18] And had there been but one stiffnecked man, it were a wonder had he gone unpunished. For mercy and anger alike are with him who remits and forgives, though on the wicked alights his wrath. [SIRACH 16:11] A drunken wife arouses great anger, for she does not hide her shame. [SIRACH 26:8] Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. [SIRACH 27:30] Should a man nourish anger against his fellows and expect healing from the LORD? [SIRACH 28:3] The more wood, the greater the fire, the more underlying it, the fiercer the fight; The greater a man's strength, the sterner his anger, the greater his power, the greater his wrath. [SIRACH 28:10] Envy and anger shorten one's life, worry brings on premature old age. [SIRACH 30:24] For only a brief moment more, and my anger shall be over; but them I will destroy in wrath. [ISA 10:25] The LORD shall dry up the tongue of the Sea of Egypt, and wave his hand over the Euphrates in his fierce anger And shatter it into seven streamlets, so that it can be crossed in sandals. [ISA 11:15] On that day, you will say: I give you thanks, O LORD; though you have been angry with me, your anger has abated, and you have consoled me. [ISA 12:1] Lo, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and burning anger; To lay waste the land and destroy the sinners within it! [ISA 13:9] For this I will make the heavens tremble and the earth shall be shaken from its place, At the wrath of the LORD of hosts on the day of his burning anger. [ISA 13:13] Yes, all shall be put to shame and disgrace who vent their anger against you; Those shall perish and come to nought who offer resistance. [ISA 41:11] I will not accuse forever, nor always be angry; For their spirits would faint before me, the souls that I have made. [ISA 57:16] Be not so very angry, LORD, keep not our guilt forever in mind; look upon us, who are all your people. [ISA 64:8] Yet withal you say, "I am innocent; at least, his anger is turned away from me." Behold, I will judge you on that word of yours, "I have not sinned." [JER 2:35] Go, proclaim these words toward the north, and say: Return, rebel Israel, says the LORD, I will not remain angry with you; For I am merciful, says the LORD, I will not continue my wrath forever. [JER 3:12] The LORD is true God, he is the living God, the eternal King, Before whose anger the earth quakes, whose wrath the nations cannot endure [JER 10:10] Punish us, O LORD, but with equity, not in anger, lest you have us dwindle away. [JER 10:24] The anger of the LORD shall not abate until he has done and fulfilled what he has determined in his heart. When the time comes, you shall fully understand. [JER 23:20] You have brought your wrath and anger down upon us, as you had warned us through your servants the prophets [BARUCH 2:20] My children, bear patiently the anger that has come from God upon you; Your enemies have persecuted you, and you will soon see their destruction and trample upon their necks. [BARUCH 4:25] Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will wreak my fury upon them till I am appeased; they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my jealousy when I spend my fury upon them. [EZEK 5:13] Now the end is upon you; I will unleash my anger against you and judge you according to your conduct and lay upon you the consequences of all your abominations. [EZEK 7:3] Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will deal with you according to your anger and your envy which you have exercised (in your hatred) against them. I will make myself known among you when I judge you [Taken from EZEK 35:11] Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. [JOEL 2:13] I will wreak vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not hearkened. [MICAH 5:14] Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; Who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency [MICAH 7:18] A jealous and avenging God is the LORD, an avenger is the LORD, and angry; The LORD brings vengeance on his adversaries, and lays up wrath for his enemies; The LORD is slow to anger, yet great in power, and the LORD never leaves the guilty unpunished. In hurricane and tempest is his path, and clouds are the dust at his feet [NAHUM 1:2-3] Before his wrath, who can stand firm, and who can face his blazing anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are rent asunder before him. [NAHUM 1:6] Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth, who have observed his law; Seek justice, seek humility; perhaps you may be sheltered on the day of the LORD'S anger. [ZEPH 2:3] Therefore, wait for me, says the LORD, against the day when I arise as accuser; For it is my decision to gather together the nations, to assemble the kingdoms, In order to pour out upon them my wrath, all my blazing anger; For in the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be consumed. [ZEPH 3:8] If Edom says, "We have been crushed but we will rebuild the ruins," Thus says the LORD of hosts: They indeed may build, but I will tear down, And they shall be called the land of guilt, the people with whom the LORD is angry forever. [MAL 1:4] But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to fiery Gehenna. [MT 5:22] Or are we provoking the Lord to jealous anger? Are we stronger than he? [1COR 10:22] Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not leave room for the devil. [EPH 4:26-27] All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all malice. [EPH 4:31] Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord. [EPH 6:4] But now you must put them all away: anger, fury, malice, slander, and obscene language out of your mouths. [COL 3:8] It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument. [1TM 2:8] |

Well done. Quite illustrative.
Thanks......we don’t always want to think of the anger in our lives, but it is addressed quite a bit in Scripture.
I’m in the furnace right now (figuratively)- God is shaping me for the future.
I know how Job felt. It’s no fun.
Thanks for the post.
God is just yet merciful. Those crucified to the cross shine bright as an example in every generation. Bow humbly and thank the Lord for his justice. It’s when the CROSS becomes a delight...that’s when you know when you’re on the right path.
Thank-you for the excellent posting.
I am not Catholic- but will defend any brother or sister in Christ when what they say so clearly reflects the whole counsel of God Almighty.A refreshing reminder that we have been bought with a price.Too often we forget our God is a jealous God.
**God is just yet merciful. **
Yes, we will see that justice, but we will also see the mercy -— someday!
