Psalms 78:58-59
58For they aprovoked him to anger with their bhigh places;they cmoved him to jealousy with their didols.
59When God heard, he was full of ewrath,
and he utterly rejected Israel.
Isaiah 42:13-14
13 fThe Lord goes out like a mighty man,like a man of war ghe stirs up his zeal;
he cries out, hhe shouts aloud,
he shows himself mighty against his foes.
14 For a long time I have held my peace;
I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out ilike a woman in labor;
I will gasp and pant.
Isaiah 59:17
17 jHe put on righteousness as a breastplate,and a helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and wrapped himself in kzeal as a cloak.
Isaiah 63:4-6
4 lFor the day of vengeance was in my heart,and my year of redemption ▼
▼Or the year of my redeemed
had come.5I looked, but nthere was no one to help;
I was appalled, but there was no one to uphold;
so my own arm brought me salvation,
and my wrath upheld me.
6I trampled down the peoples in my anger;
oI made them drunk in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.”
Isaiah 63:15
