## In Jewish tradition

When it is said that God's anger "was kindled," it is a picture of anger flaring up like a fire. The prophets also say feelings like compassion are kindled, meaning stirred up and warm.

**Interpretation.** The commentators say that speaking of God's anger as a fire is a way of describing God in human terms so people can understand. Hosea's "compassions are kindled" is read as God's mercy rising even as He judges.
