Is the very epitome of divine wrath as it is mercy.

Likewise God is portrayed as the divine warrior in the bible:

Deuteronomy:
32:39-42
39
“See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.

40
I lift my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,

41
when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me.

42
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
