"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned" is from the 1697 play "The Mourning Bride" by William Congreve. We're more familiar with the paraphrase "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". While we frequently use it in jest, or as a response to an anger driven event, the saying is rooted in the fact that God's wrath at sin can rage with a fury we don't want to see.

Over and over in Deuteronomy 27-28 God explains how the curses are driven by their refusal to listen and obey (28:15, 20, 45, 58, 62). This refusal was especially painful because of all God had done for them in rescuing them from captivity and giving them their own land. Remember, He had promised to rain down blessings from heaven if they would obey (28:1-14), but the curses came from their defiant refusal to listen and obey or to even be thankful for His blessings (29:25-28).

While we're not under the OT law, there is a scary similarity to the description of the destruction sin brings on Gentiles spelled out in Romans 1. God's wrath is revealed (v 18) in our unclean lives lived for our own lusts (v 24), vile passions (v 26), and wicked conduct that brings nothing but death (vs 28-32). All because we refuse to recognize and glorify God for all His goodness or even be thankful (v 21). All of us stand undone before God, justly deserving His wrath for our sin. Only Christ can rescue us - if we will obey!
