Short answer: wrath is correct.
Long term lesson:
Wrath is an uncountable noun, so we only use its singular form.
You can find the solution to this type of problem by looking the word up in your favorite dictionary and looking for the term uncountable or noncount. For instance, check out the word's definition at the Merriam-Webster Learner's Dictionary.
The opposite of an uncountable noun is a countable noun, which means that we use its pluralized form as usual.
