What is Anger?
AN'GER
, a strong emotion, which is sinful or otherwise according to its object and motive. When ascribed to holy beings it is used figuratively to denote high displeasure at sin. In this sense good men may be angry and sin not, Eph 4:26; Neh 5:6; cf. 2 Pet 2:7,2 Pet 2:8; and even God is said to be "angry with the wicked every day." Ps 7:11. Unjustified anger is reckoned among chief sins, and as such is severely rebuked. Eph 4:31; Col 3:8, and numerous passages in Proverbs.
