What does "I was angry" mean if it doesn't involve an emotion?

There's also verses like:
Exodus 4:14 "Then the Lord became very angry with Moses"
There are also verses about God having hands, or a face, or other anthropomorphic parts. God is a Spirit being who is unchanging. The Bible is written to communicate a message that men can relate to this is why it uses terms about God that while inaccurate, still make it more possible to understand.

Then whose hand was it? When people say God loves them I thought God would feel the emotion....
The Bible does not say anything about the ownership of the hand. God is love, if you are with God you feel love and peace.

I was doing some research into Bible blood baths and came across this passage:
Isaiah 63:2-6
Why are your clothes red?
They look as if you have been stomping
on grapes in a winepress.

The Lord answers, “I have been stomping on the nations
as if they were grapes.
No one was there to help me.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry.
That is why I stomped on them.
Their blood splashed all over my clothes.
So my clothes were stained bright red.
I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies.
The year for me to set my people free had come.
I looked around, but no one was there to help me.
I was shocked that no one gave me any help.
I used my own power to save my people.
I had the strength to do it because I was angry.
I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them.
I made them drink from the cup of my great anger.
I poured out their blood on the ground.”

I found related verses about wine and anger:

Job 21:20
Psalms 60:3
Psalms 75:8
Jeremiah 25:15
Ezekiel 23:31-32
Joel 3:13
Zechariah 12:2
Revelation 14:10
Revelation 14:19
Revelation 16:19
Revelation 19:15

On Google the photos of wine spills look very similar to blood....

There are also verses about wine and Jesus' blood in communion. I wonder if that has anything to do with God's anger as well....

I was wondering about God's anger - is it compatible with him being perfectly loving, etc?
the anger of God is not literal its in regards to his judgement many orthodox and catholic theologians hold this traditional view because of logical classical theism and wine is Jesus blood correct
