Midrasch zu Jeschijahu 13:9
הִנֵּ֤ה יוֹם־יְהוָה֙ בָּ֔א אַכְזָרִ֥י וְעֶבְרָ֖ה וַחֲר֣וֹן אָ֑ף לָשׂ֤וּם הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ לְשַׁמָּ֔ה וְחַטָּאֶ֖יהָ יַשְׁמִ֥יד מִמֶּֽנָּה׃
Der Tag des Herrn kommt grauenvoll, Grimm und Zornesglut; er verwandelt die Erde in Wüsteneien, und ihre Sünder tilgt er weg von ihr.
Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael
(Exodus 12:12) "And I shall pass ("ve'avarti") through the land of Egypt": R. Yehudah says: As a king, who makes the rounds of his kingdom. Variantly: I shall place My wrath ("evrathi") and My fear in Egypt. "evrah" is wrath, as in (Psalms 78:49) "He sent His burning anger upon them — evrah and scorn, and affliction," and (Isaiah 13:9) "Behold, the day of the L rd is coming — fury and evrah and burning wrath, etc."
