9204. 'And My anger will blaze up' means the state of those who do that thing. This is clear from the meaning of 'anger' - when attributed to Jehovah, that is, to the Lord - as leniency and mercy, dealt with in 6997, 8875. But the reason why the state of those who do that thing is meant here, that is to say, the state of those who afflict and oppress a sojourner, widow, or orphan, is that the anger actually resides with them, though at the time it seems to reside with the Lord.

Anger is attributed in the Word to the Lord when in fact it resides with man, see 6997, 8284, 8483, 8875.

As a general rule evil that is attributed to the Lord resides with those immersed in evil, 1861, 2447, 6071, 6832, 6991, 7533, 7632, 7643, 7679, 7710 (end), 7926, 8197, 8227, 8228, 8282.
