FU'RY. Jer 10:25. As the word is generally used, the prophet here attributes to God what is true only of man. We associate haste, impulse, thoughtlessness, and unkindness with fury. But in this sense God cannot have the emotion of fury. He has anger for sin, but this is a righteous and holy feeling, devoid of the bitterness by which men are most often actuated in their fury; and when he is said to pour out his fury on a person or on a people, it is a figurative expression for dispensing afflictive judgments. Modern Eastern Furniture. 1. A Village Table. 2. A Brazier, Tongs, etc. 3. Chairs, Persian Canopy Bed, a Couch and Wooden Pillow.
