In the context of Ezekiel, God's wrath was directed towards Jerusalem for its idolatry and unfaithfulness, likened to adultery. The imagery of wrath being "laid to rest" implies a deliberate action by God to cease His punitive measures. This reflects the covenant relationship where God disciplines but also restores. Historically, this can be linked to the Babylonian exile, a period of intense judgment for Israel's sins. Theologically, it echoes the concept of divine justice being satisfied, a theme that resonates with the sacrificial system and ultimately with the atonement through Christ, who bore God's wrath on behalf of humanity.<p><b>and My jealousy will turn away from you</b><br>Jealousy here refers to God's zealous protection of His covenant relationship with Israel, akin to a husband's rightful jealousy over an unfaithful spouse. This turning away signifies a restoration of relationship and a cessation of divine retribution. In the ancient Near Eastern context, gods were often depicted as jealous, but the biblical portrayal is unique in its moral and relational dimensions. This phrase connects to passages like <a href="/exodus/34-14.htm">Exodus 34:14</a>, where God is described as a jealous God, emphasizing His desire for exclusive devotion. Theologically, it points to the reconciliation available through repentance and faith, prefiguring the reconciliation offered through Christ.<p><b>Then I will be calm</b><br>The calmness of God signifies a return to peace and stability in the divine-human relationship. This calm follows the resolution of anger and jealousy, indicating that the conditions for peace have been met. In the broader biblical narrative, God's calmness often follows repentance and restoration, as seen in the cycles of sin and redemption throughout the Old Testament. This calm can be seen as a type of the peace that Christ brings, as described in <a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14</a>, where He is our peace, breaking down the dividing wall of hostility.<p><b>and no longer angry</b><br>The cessation of anger marks the completion of a process of judgment and the beginning of restoration. This reflects God's character as both just and merciful, willing to forgive and restore those who turn back to Him. In the prophetic literature, God's anger is often temporary, designed to bring about repentance and renewal. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of God's enduring mercy, as seen in <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, where His mercies are new every morning. It also foreshadows the ultimate reconciliation achieved through Christ, who absorbs God's righteous anger on behalf of sinners, offering eternal peace with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, tasked with delivering God's messages to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The city symbolically represented as an unfaithful wife in this chapter, illustrating Israel's spiritual adultery.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_wrath.htm">God's Wrath</a></b><br>Represents God's righteous anger towards Israel's idolatry and unfaithfulness.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/jealousy.htm">Jealousy</a></b><br>God's protective and zealous love for His people, which is provoked by their infidelity.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies, a period of punishment and reflection for Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_jealousy.htm">Understanding God's Jealousy</a></b><br>God's jealousy is not like human jealousy; it is a righteous and protective love that desires exclusive devotion.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_unfaithfulness.htm">The Consequences of Unfaithfulness</a></b><br>Spiritual adultery leads to God's wrath, but His ultimate desire is for repentance and restoration.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_nature_of_divine_wrath.htm">The Nature of Divine Wrath</a></b><br>God's wrath is not eternal; it is a response to sin that ceases when repentance and restoration occur.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_hope_of_restoration.htm">The Hope of Restoration</a></b><br>Even in judgment, God provides a path to reconciliation and peace, emphasizing His mercy and grace.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/reflecting_on_our_own_lives.htm">Reflecting on Our Own Lives</a></b><br>Consider areas where we may have been unfaithful to God and seek His forgiveness and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 16</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_align_rev_16_with_symbolic_prophecy.htm">How do we reconcile Revelation 16's imagery with the more symbolic or metaphorical interpretations found in other prophetic books?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_ezekiel_8's_view_on_idols_compare.htm">How does the severe condemnation of these idolatries in Ezekiel 8 align or conflict with other biblical accounts of tolerating foreign gods?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_god_both_merciful_and_vengeful.htm">What explains the apparent inconsistency between God's merciful nature elsewhere and the violent retribution depicted in Ezekiel 23:22-27?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_the_bible's_stance_on_rioting.htm">What is the Bible's stance on rioting?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(42) <span class= "bld">My fury . . .</span> <span class= "bld">to rest.</span>--Not in pity but in satiety, as having accomplished the utter desolation of Israel.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 42.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">So will I make my fury,</span> etc.; read, with the Revised Version, <span class="accented">will satisfy.</span> The words are not primarily words of comfort. They speak of the satisfaction of the jealous husband's righteous anger, and therefore of a completed punishment. And vet that thought was, as the sequel shows (vers. 53, 60-63), the beginning of hope for the future, as the prophet thought of his people. For here the forms of punishment were not final The daughter of Zion survived the stoning, the sword, and the burning. And so, when wrath had done its work of retribution, it might become corrective and purgatorial. The injured husband, in the bold anthropomorphic language of the parable, would be no more angry. The Lord God of Israel would remember his covenant, and forgive. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So I will lay to rest</span><br /><span class="heb">וַהֲנִחֹתִ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(wa·hă·ni·ḥō·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5117.htm">Strong's 5117: </a> </span><span class="str2">To rest, settle down</span><br /><br /><span class="word">My wrath</span><br /><span class="heb">חֲמָתִי֙</span> <span class="translit">(ḥă·mā·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2534.htm">Strong's 2534: </a> </span><span class="str2">Heat, anger, poison</span><br /><br /><span class="word">against you,</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּ֔ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(bāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">and My jealousy</span><br /><span class="heb">קִנְאָתִ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(qin·’ā·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7068.htm">Strong's 7068: </a> </span><span class="str2">Ardor, zeal, jealousy</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will turn away</span><br /><span class="heb">וְסָ֥רָה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·sā·rāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> </span><span class="str2">To turn aside</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from you.</span><br /><span class="heb">מִמֵּ֑ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(mim·mêḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> </span><span class="str2">A part of, from, out of</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Then I will be calm</span><br /><span class="heb">וְשָׁ֣קַטְתִּ֔י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·šā·qaṭ·tî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8252.htm">Strong's 8252: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be quiet or undisturbed</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and no</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלֹ֥א</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lō)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> </span><span class="str2">Not, no</span><br /><br /><span class="word">longer</span><br /><span class="heb">עֽוֹד׃</span> <span class="translit">(‘ō·wḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> </span><span class="str2">Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more</span><br /><br /><span class="word">angry.</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶכְעַ֖ס</span> <span class="translit">(’eḵ·‘as)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3707.htm">Strong's 3707: </a> </span><span class="str2">To trouble, to grieve, rage, be indignant</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/ezekiel/16-42.htm">Ezekiel 16:42 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/ezekiel/16-42.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 16:42 So will I cause my wrath toward (Ezek.
