We’ve discussed sadness. 

Now let’s take a look at anger.  

Read the following verses that talk about both these emotions.

·      Genesis 4:5 But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad. 

 

·      Genesis 4:6 And the Lord said to Cain, Why are you angry? and why is your face sad?

·      Genesis 34:7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very ANGRY, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; a which thing ought not to be done.

·      Genesis 45:5 Now don't be grieved, nor ANGRY with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

·      1 Samuel 20:34 So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

How are anger and sadness related? 

Our God in the Old Testament was often an angry God. Read these verses with that in mind.

·      Exodus 4:14 And the Lord was ANGRY with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

·      Psalms 79:5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be ANGRY forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?

·      Isaiah 12:1 In that day you will say, "I will give thanks to you, Yahweh; for though you were ANGRY with me, your anger has turned away and you comfort me.

·      Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.

·      Ezekiel 7:3 Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.
