It is used to describe both human and animal behavior, as well as metaphorically to depict certain spiritual or emotional states. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, "fierce" is frequently used to describe the wrath or anger of individuals or nations. For example, in <a href="/genesis/49-7.htm">Genesis 49:7</a>, Jacob prophesies concerning Simeon and Levi, "Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel!" . Here, the term underscores the intensity and destructiveness of their anger. The fierceness of animals is also depicted in the Old Testament. In <a href="/job/41-10.htm">Job 41:10</a>, the description of Leviathan includes, "No one is so fierce as to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against Me?" . This passage highlights the formidable and untamable nature of the creature, serving as a metaphor for God's unmatched power. Divine Wrath The fierceness of God's wrath is a recurring theme in the Scriptures. In <a href="/deuteronomy/32-22.htm">Deuteronomy 32:22</a>, God warns of His fierce anger against Israel's disobedience: "For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol, devouring the earth and its produce and setting ablaze the foundations of the mountains" . This imagery conveys the consuming and purifying nature of divine judgment. Similarly, in <a href="/isaiah/13-9.htm">Isaiah 13:9</a>, the prophet speaks of the day of the Lord: "Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming—cruel, with fury and burning anger—to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it" . The fierceness of God's judgment serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of His holiness. New Testament Context In the New Testament, the concept of fierceness is less frequently mentioned but still present. In <a href="/2_timothy/3.htm">2 Timothy 3:1-3</a>, Paul warns of the perilous times in the last days, describing people as "lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good" . The term "brutal" can be understood as fierce, indicating a lack of restraint and compassion. Spiritual Warfare The fierceness of spiritual adversaries is also acknowledged in the New Testament. In <a href="/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8</a>, believers are admonished to "Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" . The imagery of a roaring lion conveys the fierce and relentless nature of spiritual opposition. Conclusion The biblical portrayal of fierceness serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for both human and divine intensity. It underscores the need for humility, repentance, and reliance on God's grace to navigate the challenges posed by fierce anger, judgment, and spiritual adversaries.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
