wrath
A state or outburst of intense anger or wrath, particularly as perceived or manifested by a deity or a person. In some contexts, denotes the emotional force itself (wrath, rage), while in others may refer to the result or expression (punishment, outbreak of anger). The term often signifies divine indignation or punishment resulting from displeasure but does not inherently refer to a tangible object (such as a splinter); usage is almost entirely figurative in the Hebrew Bible.
