The term "infuriated" refers to a state of intense anger or rage. In the context of the Bible, this emotion is often depicted in narratives where individuals or groups react with extreme anger due to perceived injustices, threats, or provocations. The Bible provides numerous examples of infuriation, both in human characters and in the divine response to sin and rebellion.

Old Testament Examples:

1. Cain and Abel: One of the earliest instances of infuriation is found in the account of Cain and Abel. Cain becomes infuriated when God favors Abel's offering over his own. This anger leads to the first murder recorded in Scripture. Genesis 4:5-6 states, "but He had no regard for Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his countenance fell. Then the LORD said to Cain, 'Why are you angry, and why has your countenance fallen?'"

2. Moses and Pharaoh: In the narrative of the Exodus, Pharaoh becomes infuriated with Moses and the Israelites as they seek freedom from slavery. His hardened heart and anger lead to a series of plagues upon Egypt. Exodus 10:28 records Pharaoh's anger: "Pharaoh said to him, 'Get away from me! Take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face, you will die.'"

3. Saul and David: King Saul's infuriation with David is a recurring theme in 1 Samuel. Saul's jealousy and anger towards David, who is favored by God and the people, lead to multiple attempts on David's life. 1 Samuel 18:8 captures Saul's anger: "And Saul was very angry, and this song displeased him. 'They have ascribed to David tens of thousands,' he said, 'but to me they have ascribed only thousands. What more can he have but the kingdom?'"

New Testament Examples:

1. Jesus and the Pharisees: The Pharisees and religious leaders often become infuriated with Jesus due to His teachings and actions, which challenge their authority and interpretations of the Law. In Mark 3:5 , Jesus Himself is described as being infuriated by their hardness of heart: "And looking around at them with anger, grieved by their hardness of heart, He said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored."

2. Paul and the Silversmiths: In Acts 19, the silversmiths of Ephesus become infuriated with Paul because his preaching threatens their trade of making idols of Artemis. Acts 19:28 describes their reaction: "When they heard this, they were enraged and began shouting, 'Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!'"

Divine Infuriation:

The Bible also speaks of God's righteous anger, often described as being "infuriated" by sin, idolatry, and rebellion. This divine anger is not capricious but is a response to the violation of His holiness and justice.

1. The Golden Calf: In Exodus 32, God is infuriated by the Israelites' idolatry with the golden calf. Exodus 32:10 records God's words to Moses: "Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation."

2. The Prophets: The prophets frequently speak of God's infuriation with Israel and Judah due to their persistent sin and idolatry. For example, in Jeremiah 7:20 , God declares, "Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: 'My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.'"

In summary, the concept of being infuriated in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing human emotions and divine responses. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of sin and the importance of aligning one's actions with God's will.1. (imp. & p. p.) of Infuriate.
