It is often used to describe a powerful emotional response, akin to a storm of emotions, that can lead to destructive actions or consequences. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with divine wrath or human anger that reflects a deep-seated indignation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, emotions such as anger were often depicted using vivid imagery, such as storms or natural disasters, to convey their intensity and potential for destruction. The concept of divine wrath was understood as a righteous response to sin and disobedience, reflecting God's holiness and justice. Human anger, on the other hand, was often cautioned against, as it could lead to sin if not controlled.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be vexed, be enraged<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dejected (1), enraged (2), looking...haggard (1), rages (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">זַעַף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be out of humour, vexed;
