🍞 Jealous beside Numbers 5:18
When jealous is loud, Numbers 5:18 is a sentence you can borrow. “The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.” The other two verses on this page stay with the same need.

If the feeling is bigger than a verse, stay in the room. Numbers 5:18 is a companion, not a fix-it line. The other two verses are for a second night if this one is enough.
