GOD’S ANGER IS THE RESULT OF HIS LOVE FOR US. JEROME: Mighty is the wrath of the Lord when he is not angry with us here, for, then, he reserves us like a calf for slaughter. In fact, he says to Jerusalem, “Many are your sins and many your iniquities, but I will not be vexed with you.” In other words, when you were only an adulteress, I loved you with a jealous love; but when you had many lovers, I despised you, and I will not be vexed with you. In this same way, a man is jealous of his wife when he loves her; but if he is not jealous, he hates her and does not imitate the words of him who says, “I will punish their crime with a rod” but, “I will not punish your daughters for their harlotry.” HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 51 (PS 140).
