Be ye angry and sin not. (Eph. 4 : 26.)
And he [Elisha] turned back and looked on them and cursed them in the
name of the Lord. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood
and tare forty and two children of them. (2 Kings 2 : 24.)
And when he had looked round about on them with anger, ... he saith
unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. (Mark 3 : 5.)

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? And if the
world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest
matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? How much more things
that pertain to this life? If, then, ye have judgments of things
pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in
the church. (1 Cor. 6 : 2, 3, 4.)
Do not ye judge them that are within? (1 Cor. 5 : 12.)

And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord, in the presence of
all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward
heaven. [Then follows the prayer.] And it was so, that when Solomon
had made an end of praying all his prayer and supplication unto the
Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on
his knees, with his hands spread up to heaven.... And the Lord said
unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication that thou hast
made before me. (1 Kings 8 : 22, 54, and 9 : 3.)
