Bible Comments

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? - by dividing our fellowship between Him and idols (Ezekiel 20:39). The Greek has 'Or' preceding 'Shall we yield to God's will?' 'Or' do we wish to provoke Him to assert His power? (Deuteronomy 32:21; Exodus 20:5.)

Are we stronger? - that we can risk a contest with Him.
