God's Anger . . . ?

Hi -

CAPS MINE

HOW CAN IT BE that in Jeremiah 3:12 - KJV, the Lord says that he WILL NOT keep his anger for ever -- BUT -- in Jeremiah 17:4 - KJV, the Lord says that his anger WILL burn for ever?

"Jeremiah 3:12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the Lord; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, SAITH THE LORD, AND I WILL NOT KEEP ANGER FOR EVER."

"Jeremiah 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire IN MINE ANGER, WHICH SHALL BURN FOR EVER."
