Lexicon :: Strong's H5678 - ʿeḇrâ

“Their anger is cursed, for it is strong,

and their fury, for it is cruel!

I will disperse them throughout Jacob

and scatter them throughout Israel.

Indeed, the evil person is spared from the day of disaster,

rescued from the day of wrath.

Pour out your raging anger;

look on every proud person and humiliate him.

Rise up, LORD, in your anger;

lift yourself up against the fury of my adversaries;

awake for me;[fn]

you have ordained a judgment.

He sent his burning anger against them:

fury, indignation, and calamity —

a band of deadly messengers.[fn]

You withdrew all your fury;

you turned from your burning anger.

For all our days ebb away under your wrath;

we end our years like a sigh.

Who understands the power of your anger?

Your wrath matches the fear that is due you.

Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath,

but righteousness rescues from death.

The desire of the righteous turns out well,

but the hope of the wicked leads to wrath.

A king favors a prudent servant,

but his anger falls on a disgraceful one.

The arrogant and proud person, named “Mocker,”

acts with excessive arrogance.

The one who sows injustice will reap disaster,

and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

The land is scorched

by the wrath of the LORD of Armies,

and the people are like fuel for the fire.

No one has compassion on his brother.

I will send him against a godless nation;

I will command him to go

against a people destined for my rage,

to take spoils, to plunder,

and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

Look, the day of the LORD is coming —

cruel, with fury and burning anger —

to make the earth a desolation

and to destroy its sinners.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble,

and the earth will shake from its foundations

at the wrath of the LORD of Armies,

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.

We have heard of Moab’s pride —

how very proud he is —

his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance,

and his empty boasting.

“Cut off the hair of your sacred vow[fn] and throw it away. Raise up a dirge on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned the generation under his wrath.’ 

I know his outburst.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

It is empty.

His boast is empty.

Without compassion the Lord has swallowed up

all the dwellings of Jacob.

In his wrath he has demolished

the fortified cities of Daughter Judah.

He brought them to the ground

and defiled the kingdom and its leaders.

I am the man who has seen affliction

under the rod of God’s wrath.

They will throw their silver into the streets,

and their gold will seem like something filthy.

Their silver and gold will be unable to save them

in the day of the LORD’s wrath.

They will not satisfy their appetites

or fill their stomachs,

for these were the stumbling blocks

that brought about their iniquity.

“I will pour out my indignation on you;

I will blow the fire of my fury on you.

I will hand you over to brutal men,

skilled at destruction.

“Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of my fury, and you will be melted within the city.

“So I have poured out my indignation on them and consumed them with the fire of my fury. I have brought their conduct down on their own heads.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

“I swear in my zeal and fiery wrath: On that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.

The princes of Judah are like those

who move boundary markers;

I will pour out my fury on them like water.

I give you a king in my anger

and take away a king in my wrath.

The LORD says:

I will not relent from punishing Edom

for three crimes, even four,

because he pursued his brother with the sword.

He stifled his compassion,

his anger tore at him continually,

and he harbored his rage incessantly.

Are you angry at the rivers, LORD?

Is your wrath against the rivers?

Or is your fury against the sea

when you ride on your horses,

your victorious chariot?

That day is a day of wrath,

a day of trouble and distress,

a day of destruction and desolation,

a day of darkness and gloom,

a day of clouds and total darkness,

Their silver and their gold

will be unable to rescue them

on the day of the LORD’s wrath.

The whole earth will be consumed

by the fire of his jealousy,

for he will make a complete,

yes, a horrifying end

of all the inhabitants of the earth.
