SelahEven human wrath will praise You; You will clothe Yourself with their remaining wrath.

Romans 2:2-10
We know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth.Do you really think— anyone of you who judges those who do such things yet do the same— that you will escape God’s judgment?Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?But because of your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.He will repay each one according to his works:eternal life to those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality;but wrath and indignation to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth but are obeying unrighteousness;affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek;but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.

Jonah 3:4-10
Jonah set out on the first day of his walk in the city and proclaimed,“ In 40 days Nineveh will be demolished!”The men of Nineveh believed in God. They proclaimed a fast and dressed in sackcloth— from the greatest of them to the least.When word reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat in ashes.Then he issued a decree in Nineveh: By order of the king and his nobles: No man or beast, herd or flock, is to taste anything at all. They must not eat or drink water.Furthermore, both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth, and everyone must call out earnestly to God. Each must turn from his evil ways and from the violence he is doing.Who knows? God may turn and relent; He may turn from His burning anger so that we will not perish.Then God saw their actions— that they had turned from their evil ways— so God relented from the disaster He had threatened to do to them. And He did not do it.

Discipline me, Lord, but with justice— not in Your anger, or You will reduce me to nothing.Pour out Your wrath on the nations that don’t recognize You and on the families that don’t call on Your name, for they have consumed Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off and made his homeland desolate.

For He tells Moses: I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.So then it does not depend on human will or effort but on God who shows mercy.For the Scripture tells Pharaoh: I raised you up for this reason so that I may display My power in you and that My name may be proclaimed in all the earth.So then, He shows mercy to those He wants to, and He hardens those He wants to harden.
