- The angerאַףaf
anger
The rage of one who snorts; the "long of nose" is slow to become angry.
Where else “af” appears- of YHWHיְהוָהyehva
YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

16And it happened, as he was speaking to him, that the king said to him, “Have we made you a counselor to the king? Stop! Why should they strike you down?” So the prophet stopped, but said, “I know that Elohim has decided to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
