The Angry Man Wishes The Object Of His Anger To Suffer In Return; Hatred Wishes Its Object Not To Exist.
Anger And The Like Are Attributed To God On Account Of A Similitude Of Effect. Thus, Because To Punish Is Properly The Act Of An Angry Man, God's Punishment Is Metaphorically Spoken Of As His Anger.
As The Whirlwind In Its Fury Teareth Up Trees, And Deformeth The Face Of Nature, Or As An Earthquake In Its Convulsions Overturneth Whole Cities; So The Rage Of An Angry Man Throweth Mischief Around Him.
