# Wrath
Wrath is intense anger or fury. It sometimes happens for a long time. In the Bible, the word “wrath” is usually used to talk about Gods anger toward people who sin against him. Gods wrath is always holy, righteous, and just.

#### More Information About This Topic
Sometimes the Bible uses the words, “God poured out his wrath” on someone. Sometimes it uses the words, “Gods wrath came” upon someone (Jeremiah 7:20; Hosea 5:10; Ephesians 5:6). These are different ways of talking about God judging people and punishing them for their sin.
Gods wrath is sometimes written about as being like a fire when he punished people (Jeremiah 7:20; 15:14; 44:6; See also: Jeremiah 4:4). Gods wrath is also written about as being like wine in a cup that people must drink (Revelation 14:10; See also: Isaiah 51:17-23; Jeremiah 25:15). These metaphors are used to talk about how Gods wrath destroys people and causes them to fall so they cannot get up again.
