“In the same way that wrath arises from the indignation of God, so even life is generated from his will. If "life" indicates knowledge, … then wrath denotes lack of knowledge. Death is a turning from life. Wrath, then, indicates death, a deprivation of contemplation.”
Evagrius Ponticus, 4th c. — NOTES ON THE PSALMS 29[30].6
Original
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
