What is the wrath of God?

Is God actually angry and vengeful or loving and correcting?

Is the Wrath of God actually just the natural consequences of straying from the life giving patterns of nature created by the God of nature?

We can see the Lord's wrath mentioned in Zephaniah 1:18

"Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath<ebrah>[1]; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land." Zephaniah 1:18

The Hebrew term aph[2] appears as wrath 42 times but anger some 172 times.

"If thou hast done foolishly<nabel>[3] in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil<ZaMaM>[4], [lay] thine hand upon thy mouth. 33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife." Proverbs 30:32

The word "foolishly" is from NunBeitLamed which means to sink or drop to senselessness. But only in this verse do we find the form NunBeitLamedTav <נָבַ֥לְתָּ> translated in the word "foolishly". And the words for "thought evil" is said to mean in the context "in lifting up thyself[5], or if thou hast thought evil," and also translated "you have devised evil" and appears in the Hebrew as ZayinMemVavTav <בְהִתְנַשֵּׂ֑א> only in this verse. It is about devising ways to exalt yourself by thinking an evil thought.[6]

The word producing "in lifting up" is from NaSA NunShinAlef[5] but in only in this verse it appears in the Hebrew as בְהִתְנַשֵּׂ֑א BeitHeyTavNunShinAlef

Job 20:23 "[When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury <02740> of his wrath <0639>[2] upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating."
