So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Then my anger toward you will finally calm down, and my jealousy will fade away. I'll be at peace, and I won't be mad at you anymore.
Even God's anger has an expiration date, peace is always the destination.
