“God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.”
The LORD is revealed as a God of jealousy and vengeance, whose wrath burns against those who oppose Him and His people. This verse establishes the retributive justice underlying the prophecy: God does not passively tolerate rebellion but actively avenges injustice and defends His covenant people. The parallel structure emphasizing both jealousy and vengeance underscores that God's character integrates passionate covenant love with righteous judgment.
