What meaning does "exasperate" hold in this verse: "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4?
Does it mean to make more grievous, to cause irritation or annoyance to, or to excite the anger of?

I understand that the definitions seem to be very close to each other, but to me, they mean very different things.
I'm sorry, I looked it up online and forgot to make sure that it was KJV. I do usually read KJV, but the verse came to me, and I wanted a quick reference to it as I could not remember what chapter and verse it was.
