Idolatry was most often the occasion for divine wrath. In the Old Testament, the wrath of God is a divine response to human sin and disobedience. God’s wrath is holy and always justified man’s is never holy and rarely justified. But there is vast difference between the wrath of God and the wrath of man. Wrath is defined as “the emotional response to perceived wrong and injustice,” often translated as “anger,” “indignation,” “vexation,” or “irritation.” Both humans and God express wrath.
