   In Exodus 15:7, the construct-form noun occurs in the clause where anger is sent and opponents are consumed; the APB renders the clause, "you send your burning anger, and it consumes them like stubble." In Numbers 25:4 and Jonah 3:9, the same construct form is something that may "turn away," while Jeremiah 30:24 says it will not turn back until the purposes of the LORD's heart are performed. Isaiah 13:9 and Ezekiel 7:14 place it upon a coming day or a multitude, associating it with desolation and the failure of anyone to go to battle.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly renders the surrounding clauses with "burning anger," and also uses "fierce anger," "burning wrath," and "anger." These phrases confirm the verses' portrayal of judgment but do not establish separate lexical senses.
