⭐ Jealous beside Exodus 20:5
When jealous is loud, Exodus 20:5 is a sentence you can borrow. “you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me,” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Exodus 20:5 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
