To be absolutely honest, the "di sdegno" genre of the aria Potrei sovra degli empi is not entirely congenial to the this singer's natural temperament, and so the raging Old Testament Jahve inevitably has less of a choleric presence than the composer probably intended.
II Serpente di Bronzo by Nibuo, Marc / Czech Music
La voce di Jahve risuona corne quella di tante acque, minacciosa, torrentizia: "Io faro venire una grande inondazione che distruggera tutti gli esseri viventi" (Genesi 6: 17); "Due sono le colpe che ha commesso il mio popolo: ha abbandonato me, sorgente di acqua fresca e viva, e ha preferito scavarsi cisteme, cisteme screpolate, incapaci di contenere acqua" (Geremia 2: 13).
Fiume/fiumi (1) by Ceserani, Reino / Italica
Sellega olevat seletatav gnoosise pessimistlik hoiak ja Jahve degradeerumine kurjaks demiurgiks (Granti arvates pettusid paljud juudid temas Jeruusalemma katastroofi tottu).
