Jealousy

. Deuteronomy 32:16

They made him jealous  with their foreign gods

 and angered  him with their detestable idols.

. Psalm 79:5

How long,  Lord? Will you be angry  forever?

 How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

. Proverbs 6:34

For jealousy  arouses a husband’s fury, 

 and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.

. Song of Solomon 8:6

Place me like a seal over your heart,

 like a seal on your arm;

 for love  is as strong as death,

 its jealousy  unyielding as the grave.

 It burns like blazing fire,

 like a mighty flame.

. Romans 10:19

   Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,

  “I will make you envious  by those who are not a nation;

 I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding.”

. 2 Cor. 11:2

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband,  to Christ, so that I might present you  as a pure virgin to him.
