raging heat, scorching wind; burning indignation
A noun evoking intense, destructive heat—whether physical or emotional. It describes the 'scorching heat of famine' that darkens skin (Lam 5:10), the 'burning wind' sent as divine judgment alongside fire and brimstone (Ps 11:6), and the 'burning indignation' that seizes the psalmist over the wicked (Ps 119:53). The Spanish ardor, abrasador and French horreur capture the consuming, oppressive force. This is heat that wounds—fever, sirocco, or fury.
