My name is Jealous...

...you shall worship no other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God...
-Exo 34:14

...do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
-James
4:5

...For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
-2Cor 11:2

Is this good news or bad news...?

Beloved
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.

If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
Song of Songs 8:5-7
