And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it:
and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought
folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be
done.--Genesis 34:7 (KJV)
Simeon and Levi the sons of Jacob became too hurt in their
feelings and they grew very angry on Shechem for having violated their sister
Dinah. Simeon and Levi took vengeance on Shechem for doing that and the other
sons of Jacob attacked Shechem's city, seal goods, and took their women and
children captive.
Jacob condemned his
sons’ with great intensity course. Simeon and Levi still tried to justify their
actions, saying: “Why should he deal with our sister like a prostitute?”
(Genesis. 34:31).
God was not happy for what they did and He was annoyed and
upset with them. Because of the violent and the angry acts of Simeon and Levi, Jacob
foretold that their descendants would be scattered among the tribes of Israel.(Genesis.
49:5-7) Yes, their uncontrolled anger brought disfavor both from God and from their
father.
NEVER ACT TOO ANGRY
God Bless
