φρυ-άσσομαι G5433
To rage, to snort with fury like spirited horses; to be insolent or haughty
Acts 4:25 quotes Psalm 2:1 asking why nations ἐφρύαξαν—raged or snorted with fury against the Lord and his Anointed. The verb originally depicted high-spirited horses neighing and prancing, then metaphorically described human arrogance, insolence, and furious opposition. The imagery is visceral: nations don't merely oppose but snort and paw like warhorse charging into battle. Luke's citation applies this to opposition against Jesus, suggesting that human rebellion against God's purposes carries the futile fury of animals raging against their master. The multilingual evidence (rage, frémir, se-enfurecieron) emphasizes violent emotion.
