SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:5
Mas por tu dureza, y por tu corazn no arrepentido, atesoras para ti mismo ira para el día de la ira y de la manifestacin del justo juicio de Dios;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Romans 2:5
Verse 5. But after thy hardness] Occasioned by thy long course of iniquity. And impenitent heart-produced by thy hardness, through which thou art callous to the calls and expostulations of conscience. Treasurest up-continuest to increase thy debt to the Divine justice, which will infallibly inflict wrath-punishment in the day of wrath-the judgment day, in which he will render to every man according to his works. The word treasure the Hebrew uses to express any kind of store or collection:-Treasure or plenty of rain. Deut. xxviii. 12: The Lord shall open unto thee his good TREASURE, to give the RAIN unto thy land. Treasure of punishment. Deut. xxxii. 34, x25: Is not this sealed up among my TREASURES? To me belongeth VENGEANCE and RECOMPENSE.
Treasures of mines, i.e. abundance of minerals. Deuteronomy xxxiii. 19: They shall suck of the ABUNDANCE of the seas, and of TREASURES hid in the sand. So treasures of gold, silver, corn, wine, oil, &c., mean collections or an abundance of such things: the word is used by the Greek writers precisely in the same sense. By wrath we are to understand punishment, as in chap. i. 18; and it is used so by the very best Greek writers. See Kypke.
The treasure of wrath, in this verse, is opposed to the riches of goodness, in the preceding. As surely as thou despisest, or neglectest to improve the RICHES of God's GOODNESS, so surely thou shalt share in the TREASURES of his WRATH. The punishment shall be proportioned to the mercy thou hast abused.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart , etc..] The apostle goes on to show, that such persons who promise themselves impunity on the score of prosperity, shall not always go unobserved and unpunished; for there is a day of wrath and righteous judgment hastening on, and will take place after they have filled up the measure of their iniquity. There is a natural hardness of the heart in every son and daughter of Adam; and there is an acquired habitual hardness, which is increased by sinning; and a judicial one, which God, for sin, sometimes gives persons up unto. An impenitent heart is not only an heart which does not repent, but such an one as cannot repent, being harder than the nether millstone. Now men, by such hardness and impenitence, treasure up unto [themselves] wrath : they are the authors of their own destruction; by which is meant the wrath of God, in opposition to the riches of his goodness, despised by them; and is in reserve for wicked men: and is laid up against , and will be brought forth in the day of wrath ; which the Scriptures call the evil day, ( Amos 6:3) ( Ephesians 6:13); the day fixed by God, when he will call men to an account for their sins, and stir up all his wrath against them: and revelation ; that is, the day of revelation, when Christ shall be revealed from heaven in flames of fire, the sins of men shall be revealed, and the wrath of God against them: of the righteous judgment of God ; so some copies read; that is, the day of the righteous judgment; so the Arabic version reads, and of the appearance of God, and of his righteous judgment; for the judgment will be at the appearance of Christ, who is God, and at his kingdom, ( <550401> Timothy 4:1). The Alexandrian copy reads, and of the retribution of the righteous judgment of God; and so the Ethiopic version seems to have read, rendering the words, if so, or seeing thy retribution may come upon thee, and if the judgment of God may befall thee; for when the judgment of God shall come, as there will be a revelation of men's sins, and of the wrath of God against them, there will be a just retribution according to their works. Or the revelation of the righteous judgment of God; that is, when the judgment of God, which is now hid, shall appear; and which is said to be righteous, because it will be carried on in a righteous manner, and proceed upon, and be executed according to the strictest rules of justice and equity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-16 - The Jews thought themselves a holy people, entitled to their privilege by right, while they were unthankful, rebellious, and unrighteous. But all who act thus, of every nation, age, and description, must be reminded that the judgment of God will be according to their rea character. The case is so plain, that we may appeal to the sinner's ow thoughts. In every wilful sin, there is contempt of the goodness of God. And though the branches of man's disobedience are very various all spring from the same root. But in true repentance, there must be hatred of former sinfulness, from a change wrought in the state of the mind, which disposes it to choose the good and to refuse the evil. I shows also a sense of inward wretchedness. Such is the great chang wrought in repentance, it is conversion, and is needed by every huma being. The ruin of sinners is their walking after a hard and impeniten heart. Their sinful doings are expressed by the strong words "treasuring up wrath." In the description of the just man, notice the full demand of the law. It demands that the motives shall be pure, an rejects all actions from earthly ambition or ends. In the descriptio of the unrighteous, contention is held forth as the principle of all evil. The human will is in a state of enmity against God. Eve Gentiles, who had not the written law, had that within, which directe them what to do by the light of nature. Conscience is a witness, an first or last will bear witness. As they nature. Conscience is witness, and first or last will bear witness. As they kept or brok these natural laws and dictates, their consciences either acquitted or condemned them. Nothing speaks more terror to sinners, and more comfor to saints, than that Christ shall be the Judge. Secret services shal be rewarded, secret sins shall be then punished, and brought to light.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
5. Treasurest up (qhsaurizeiv). Accumulatest. Glancing back to riches. For thyself. Possibly a tinge of irony.Wrath against the day of wrath (orghn en hmera orghv). A very striking image - treasuring up wrath for one's self. Rev., better, in the day, etc. The sinner stores it away. Its forthcoming is withheld by the forbearance of God. It will break out in the day when God's righteous judgment shall be revealed.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:5 {After thy hardness} (kata tn sklrotta sou). "According to thy hardness (old word from skleros, hard, stiff, only here in N.T.) will God's judgment be." {And unrepentant heart} (kai ametanoton kardian). See metanoian just before. "Thy unreconstructed heart,"with no change in the attitude of thy heart." {Treasurest up for thyself} (thsaurizeis seautwi). See for qesaurizw on #Mt 6:19f.; Lu 12:21; 2Co 12:14. Dative case seautwi (for thyself) with a touch of irony (Vincent). {Wrath} (orgen). For such a Jew as already stated for the Gentile (#1:18). There is a revelation (apokalupse"s) of God's wrath for both in the day of wrath and righteous judgment (dikaiokrisias, a late compound word, in LXX, two examples in the Oxyrhynchus papyri, only here in N.T.). See #2Th 1:5 for dikaias krisews. Paul looks to the judgment day as certain (cf. #2Co 5:10-12), the day of the Lord (#2Co 1:14).
