Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
That's how my anger will finally be finished, and I'll let my fury settle on them until I'm satisfied. Then they'll realize that I, the LORD, meant every word I said in my passion, when my fury has run its complete course through them.
God's anger has limits, but when those limits are reached, people will know he wasn't playing around.
