1The wrath of God in Scripture is taken sometimes for his just decree and purpose to revenger, sometimes for commination or threatening to punish. So some think it is to be taken in those words of the Prophet Hosea: I will not do according to the fierceness of my wraths, that is, according to my grievous threatenings. Sometimes it is taken for the effects or punishments themselves, as in the Epistle to the Romans, Is God unrighteous which bringeth wratht? it is well rendered, which punisheth.
