“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men...” Romans 1:18
Against sin - it’s not uncontrolled...it is carefully pointed at the sinfulness of men. God Hates sin. God hates ungodliness. God hates the unrighteousness of men. God’s hatred is poured against all those who are not rightly related to Him.
