🌊 Jealous beside Nahum 1:2
When jealous is loud, Nahum 1:2 is a sentence you can borrow. “Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Nahum 1:2 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
