This is what the Lord Almighty says:“ I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.”

“ Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: My love for Mount Zion is passionate and strong; I am consumed with passion for Jerusalem!

The LORD of Armies says this:“ I am extremely jealous for Zion; I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

“ The Lord of armies says this:‘ I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’

“ Thus says the Lord of hosts:‘ I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; With great fervor I am zealous for her.’

Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.

“ The Lord of Hosts says this: I am extremely jealous for Zion; I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

“ The LORD who rules over all says,‘ I am very much concerned for Zion; indeed, I am so concerned for her that my rage will fall on those who hurt her.’

Yahweh of Armies says:“ I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”

Then the Lord was concerned for his land. He took pity on his people.

Then the angel said,“ Announce this message. Say,‘ The Lord who rules over all says,“ I am very jealous for my people in Jerusalem and Zion.And I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry with my people. But the nations went too far and tried to wipe them out.”“‘ So the Lord says,“ I will return to Jerusalem. I will show its people my tender love. My temple will be rebuilt there. Workers will use a measuring line when they rebuild Jerusalem,” announces the Lord.

Lord, look down from heaven. Look down from your holy and glorious throne. Where is your great love for us? Where is your power? Why don’t you show us your tender love and concern?

The Lord will march out like a mighty warrior. He will stir up his anger like a soldier getting ready to fight. He will shout the battle cry. And he will win the battle over his enemies.The Lord says,“ For a long time I have kept silent. I have been calm and quiet. But now, like a woman having a baby, I cry out. I gasp and pant.

So the Lord and King says,“ I am very angry with those nations. I have spoken against them and the whole land of Edom. They were very happy when they took over my land. Deep down inside them, they hated Israel. They wanted to take its grasslands.Ezekiel, prophesy about the land of Israel. Speak to the mountains, hills, canyons and valleys. Tell them,‘ The Lord and King says,“ I have a jealous anger against the nations. They have laughed at you.”

They made God angry by going to their high places. They made him jealous by worshiping the statues of their gods.When God saw what the people were doing, he was very angry. He turned away from them completely.

The Lord is a jealous God who punishes people. He pays them back for the evil things they do. He directs his anger against them. The Lord punishes his enemies. He holds his anger back until the right time to use it.

I decided it was time to pay back Israel’s enemies. The year for me to set my people free had come.I looked around, but no one was there to help me. I was shocked that no one gave me any help. So I used my own power to save my people. I had the strength to do it because I was angry.I walked all over the nations because I was angry with them. I made them drink from the cup of my great anger. I poured out their blood on the ground.”

He will put the armor of holiness on his chest. He’ll put the helmet of salvation on his head. He’ll pay people back for the wrong things they do. He’ll wrap himself in anger as if it were a coat.

Who can stand firm when his anger burns? Who can live when he is angry? His anger blazes out like fire. He smashes the rocks to pieces.
