Ezekiel 5:13

13 Then my anger will be fully vented; I will exhaust my rage on them, and I will be appeased. ^{▼▼ Or “calm myself.”} Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy ^{▼▼ The Hebrew noun translated “jealousy” is used in the human realm to describe suspicion of adultery (Num 5:14ff.; Prov 6:34). Since Israel’s relationship with God was often compared to a marriage this term is appropriate here. The term occurs elsewhere in Ezekiel in 8:3, 5; 16:38, 42; 23:25.} when I have fully vented my rage against them.
