Lexicon :: Strong's H2534 - ḥēmâ

The LORD is angry with all the nations,

furious with all their armies.

He will set them apart for destruction,

giving them over to slaughter.

So he poured out his furious anger

and the power of war on Jacob.

It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it;

it burned him, but he didn’t take it to heart.

But you have forgotten the LORD, your Maker,

who stretched out the heavens

and laid the foundations of the earth.

You are in constant dread all day long

because of the fury of the oppressor,

who has set himself to destroy.

But where is the fury of the oppressor?

So he will repay according to their deeds:

fury to his enemies,

retribution to his foes,

and he will repay the coasts and islands.

I trampled the winepress alone,

and no one from the nations was with me.

I trampled them in my anger

and ground them underfoot in my fury;

their blood spattered my garments,

and all my clothes were stained.

Look, the LORD will come with fire —

his chariots are like the whirlwind —

to execute his anger with fury

and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Circumcise yourselves to the LORD;

remove the foreskin of your hearts,

men of Judah and residents of Jerusalem.

Otherwise, my wrath will break out like fire

and burn with no one to extinguish it

because of your evil deeds.

But I am full of the LORD’s wrath;

I am tired of holding it back.

Pour it out on the children in the street,

on the gathering of young men as well.

For both husband and wife will be captured,

the old with the very old.[fn]

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: “Look, my anger ​— ​my burning wrath ​— ​is about to be poured out on this place, on people and animals, on the tree of the field, and on the produce of the land. My wrath will burn and not be quenched.”

Pour out your wrath on the nations

that don’t recognize you

and on the families

that don’t call on your name,

for they have consumed Jacob;

they have consumed him and finished him off

and made his homeland desolate.

Should good be repaid with evil?

Yet they have dug a pit for me.

Remember how I stood before you

to speak good on their behalf,

to turn your anger from them.

“I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a strong arm, with anger, fury, and intense wrath.

Look, a storm from the LORD!

Wrath has gone out,

a whirling storm.

It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand and make all the nations to whom I am sending you drink from it.

Look, a storm from the LORD!

Wrath has gone out,

a churning storm.

It will whirl about the heads of the wicked.

“for this city has caused my wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. I will therefore remove it from my presence

“The people coming to fight the Chaldeans will fill the houses with the corpses of their own men that I strike down in my wrath and fury. I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil.

“Perhaps their petition will come before the LORD, and each one will turn from his evil way, for the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people are intense.”

“For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Just as my anger and fury were poured out on Jerusalem’s residents, so will my fury pour out on you if you go to Egypt. You will become an example for cursing, scorn, execration, and disgrace, and you will never see this place again.’

“So my fierce wrath poured out and burned in Judah’s cities and Jerusalem’s streets so that they became the desolate ruin they are today.

He has strung his bow like an enemy;

his right hand is positioned like an adversary.

He has killed everyone who was the delight to the eye,

pouring out his wrath like fire

on the tent of Daughter Zion.

The LORD has exhausted his wrath,

poured out his burning anger;

he has ignited a fire in Zion,

and it has consumed her foundations.

The Spirit lifted me up and took me away. I left in bitterness and in an angry spirit, and the LORD’s hand was on me powerfully.

“When my anger is spent and I have vented my wrath on them, I will be appeased. Then after I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my jealousy.

“The one who is far off will die by plague; the one who is near will fall by the sword; and the one who remains and is spared[fn] will die of famine. In this way I will exhaust my wrath on them.

I will pour out my wrath on you very soon;

I will exhaust my anger against you

and judge you according to your ways.

I will punish you for all your detestable practices.

“Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not show pity or spare them. Though they call loudly in my hearing, I will not listen to them.”

While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel when you pour out your wrath on Jerusalem? ”

“ ‘So this is what the Lord GOD says: I will release a whirlwind in my wrath. Torrential rain will come in my anger, and hailstones will fall in destructive fury.

“Or suppose I send a plague into that land and pour out my wrath on it with bloodshed to wipe out both people and animals from it.

“I will judge you the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged. Then I will bring about the shedding of your blood in jealous wrath.

“But it was uprooted in fury,

thrown to the ground,

and the east wind dried up its fruit.

Its strong branches were torn off and dried up;

fire consumed them.

“ ‘But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. None of them threw away the abhorrent things that they prized,[fn] and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them, exhausting my anger against them within the land of Egypt.

“I also will clap my hands together, and I will satisfy my wrath. I, the LORD, have spoken.”

“Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to blow fire on them and melt them, so I will gather you in my anger and wrath, put you inside, and melt you.
