6358. 'Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce' means an utter aversion to good and consequent damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'cursed' as damnation, for one who has been cursed has been damned; and from the meaning of 'anger' as an aversion to good, dealt with in 357, 5034, 5798, 6356, so that 'fierce anger' is an utter aversion.

6356. 'For in their anger they killed a man' means that they felt utterly averse, and having that feeling they annihilated faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'anger' as a departure from charity and an aversion, dealt with in 357, 5034, 5798; from the meaning of 'killing' as annihilating; and from the meaning of 'a man' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 3134, 3309, 3459, 4823.
