The Lord Is Angry

Thou have slain them in the day of thine anger. Thou have slaughtered, [and] not pitied. 22 Thou have called, as in the day of a solemn assembly, my terrors on every side. And there was none who escaped or remained in the day of LORD's anger. My enemy has consumed those whom I have dandled and brought up.
