Ezekiel 5:13

Context
5:13 Then my anger will be fully vented; I will exhaust my rage on them, and I will be appeased. 1  Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy 2  when I have fully vented my rage against them.

1 tn Or “calm myself.”

2 tn 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.
