Trivial question: What does the bible say about anger?
In the Bible several different Hebrew and Greek words are used to denote anger. The most common Hebrew word for anger is ´aph, basically meaning “nose; nostril” but often used figuratively for “anger” because of the violent breathing or snorting of an enraged person. (Compare Ps 18:7, 8; Eze 38:18.) Related to ´aph is ´a·naph´, meaning “be incensed.” Anger is also often associated in the Hebrew Scriptures with heat and thus is said to blaze. Other Hebrew words are rendered “rage,” “fury,” and “indignation.” In the Christian Greek Scriptures or·ge´ is generally translated “wrath,” while thy·mos´ is usually rendered “anger.” God’s Anger. Anger may be justified or unjustified. On God’s part, his anger is always justified, being based on principle dictated by his right to exclusive devotion and his constancy in upholding truth; it is governed by his love for righteousness and for those practicing righteousness. Divine anger does not stem from a momentary whim, to be later regretted. Jehova
