English term or phrase: brought misery and fear in his religious zeal
The fire of religious zeal can be dangerous too. For example, before his conversion Paul burned with the false fire of religious hatred. He was a dragon-man as the scripture says, “breathing out murderous threats and slaughter”. This was cold fury. He put men and women into prison, broke up homes, ***brought misery and fear in his religious zeal***. Paul’s violent passion however, turned to gentle compassion when he met Jesus. Fury became fellow-feeling; Paul found a God of Calvary love. Calvary was a volcano of love.

"Misery" means "sufrimiento/amargura/desgracia". "Miseria" in Spanish generally means "poverty".
