Bible Comments

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy - (Zechariah 1:14).

With great fury - against her oppressors. As "jealousy" implies God's great love to her, and zeal for His safety and honour; so "fury" expresses His indignation against her enemies.
