For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.

“Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.

He has also kindled His wrath against me, And He counts me as one of His enemies.

Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment.”

When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating.

The increase of his house will depart, And his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath.

Let his eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God.

Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was aroused.

“But the hypocrites in heart store up wrath; They do not cry for help when He binds them.

Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.

Prayer in Time of Chastening

A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure!

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns, He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, As in His living and burning wrath.

Consume them in wrath, consume them, That they may not be; And let them know that God rules in Jacob To the ends of the earth. Selah
