KJV ORIGINAL

God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

God is protective and takes action when he's crossed — the LORD gets justice, and yeah, he gets angry too. He will absolutely settle the score with anyone who goes against him, and he's keeping track of everyone who's made themselves his enemy.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God doesn't play when it comes to protecting what's his — justice is coming for those who oppose him.
