(חֵמָא chema', or חָרוֹן charon', both signifying intense anger) is attributed to God like anger, metaphorically, or speaking after the manner of men; that is, God's providentials actions are such as would be performed by a man in a state of anger; so that when he is said to pour out hin fury on a person or on a people, it is a figurativem expression for dispensing afflictive judgments (Leviticus 26:28 Job 20:23; Isaiah 63:3; Jeremiah 4:4; Ezekiel 5:13; Daniel 9:16; Zechariah 8:21 etc.). (See ANTHROPOMORPHISM).
