God's Protective Jealousy
Commentators explain that God's 'jealousy' is not like petty human envy. Instead, it's a powerful, covenantal love for His people. This intense love has two sides: it leads Him to discipline His people when they are unfaithful, but it also fuels a 'great wrath' against the enemies who harm them. It is a fierce, protective, and exclusive love.
