Even God is ‘jealous’ because no one can be enamored of the human being more than he does. On dozens of occasions in the Old Testament, this sentiment echo: “For I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God” (Ex 20:5). “I am intensely jealous for Zion” (Zec 8:2). “Then the fire of my jealous wrath will burn the wholeland” (Zep 3:8). God demands exclusive love that involves all your heart, soul, and strength (Deut 6:6); in the human heart, there should be a place only for him.
