Psalms 2:10-12
Psalms 2:10-12 New Century Version (NCV)

So, rebel-kings, use your heads; Upstart-judges, learn your lesson: Worship GOD in adoring embrace, Celebrate in trembling awe. Kiss Messiah! Your very lives are in danger, you know; His anger is about to explode, But if you make a run for God—you won’t regret it!
Psalms 2:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, When his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves in him!”
