This paper is another translation of Lactantius' De ira Dei. This time, I do unpublished translations of Chapters IX and XXI. In the ninth section, Lactantius defends the idea of divine providence, dialoguing with the classical philosophical tradition and questioning some thinkers, such as Protagoras, Epicurus, Diagoras of Melos and Theodorus of Cyrene. In the twenty-first section, Lactantius maintains that God not only becomes in wrath but also ascribes this feeling to the human liver. It should also be noted that I used the by Christiane Ingremeau's (1982) Latin critical edition.
