"For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."-(Psalm 30:5)

Me: where in the bible does it say that God's anger is but for a moment or something like that

Google Gemini:

The passage you're looking for, or something very similar, is found in the Book of Psalms, specifically:

Psalm 30:5 (NIV):

"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."

Other translations convey the same idea:

King James Version (KJV): "For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

English Standard Version (ESV): "For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning."

This verse beautifully illustrates the contrast between God's temporary discipline or displeasure and His enduring love and grace. It emphasizes that while there might be seasons of sorrow or divine correction, God's ultimate nature is one of favor and everlasting kindness.
