Mine anger is kindled against them

Mine anger is kindled against them.

When wicked men are brought into the greatest straits then God's wrath is hottest, and then also conscience belks and burns most hot; as men's countenances change red and pale sometimes with anger, so it is said here, that even the countenance of God grow red and pale with His anger against this people. Though superstitious men may think that outward pompous worshipping pleases God most, yet we see here that it does stir up the anger of God, so that God grows even pale against them with anger.
