Bible References

I do well to be angry

but for Cain and his offering He had no respect. So Cain became extremely angry (indignant), and he looked annoyed and hostile.

“You who tear yourself apart in anger,
Is the earth to be abandoned for your sake,
Or the rock to be moved out of its place?

“Behold, I am of little importance and contemptible; what can I reply to You?
I lay my hand on my mouth.

Even

When she pressured him day after day with her words and pleaded with him, he was annoyed to death.

“For anger slays the foolish man,
And jealousy kills the simple (naive).

Then He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, so that I am almost dying of sorrow. Stay here and stay awake and keep watch with Me.”

For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.

And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die [to escape the pain], but [will discover that] death evades them.
