The Lord does not become angry quickly. His power is great. The Lord will not let the guilty go unpunished. Where the Lord goes, whirlwinds and storms show his power. The clouds are the dust that his feet kick up.
How does your understanding of God's Justice affect your daily decisions?
While, I don't know if you have read of the story of Joseph Jacob son with Rachel.
Let resume the story for you.
Joseph is one of the heroes in the old testament. God gave him the gift to interpreting dream.
And of all his 12 son Jacob loved Joseph. One day Jacob gave Joseph a beautiful colored coat. One night Joseph had a dream. A bundle of wheat stood straight into the air, while 11 other bundle bent toward it. Joseph told this dream to his family, and they had their doubt of the interpretation and they thought Joseph and Jacob thought he was crazy. Jacob brother plan to sale Joseph as a slave and Joseph's brother lied to Jacob about what really happen to Joseph. Joseph work very hard and use the gift that God gave him and became the assistance of the pharaoh. The year pass and when the seven years of hunger came Joseph was leading and distributing the food. Joseph brother begging for food but they didn't recognize his brother Joseph. Joseph had mad with his family but God love was in his heart and listen to God he forgave his family.

Habakkuk 3
Lord, I have heard the news about you.
Lord, I am amazed at the powerful things you have done.
Do great things once again in our time.
Make those things happen again in our own days.
Even when you are angry,
remember to be gentle with us.
This was Habakkuk praying to God.
I have discovered that God's promise judgment pointed to difficult tome ahead. Habakkuk contemplated God's answer to his first prayer, he began intercede for those who would suffer . In this chapter Habakkuk called on God in the middle of his wrath so can God show mercy.
