The KJV renders 11 different Hebrew and Greek words as “wrath”

properly, desire (as a reaching forth or excitement of the mind), i.e. (by analogy), violent passion (ire, or (justifiable) abhorrence); by implication punishment
from G3713 (ὀρέγομαι);
How the KJV renders it
anger, indignation, vengeance, wrath
Where that flattens a distinction
