feel hurt and humiliated, wrath is a most reprehensible human characteristic. But divine wrath should never be confused with human anger for it contains none of the uncontrolled passion, the unreasonable outbursts, the self-vindication that are the unfortunate ingredients of human wrath. God’s wrath is “right”: it is a holy response to the unholy, a just reaction to the unjust, a pure rejection of the impure. In fact, for God not to express wrath at much of what goes on in our world would be wrong.
