trusted in

Ezekeil 16:15-43
But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you.
Because you poured out your wealth and exposed yout nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because you gave them your children's blood and because of all your detestable idols, therefore I am going to gather all your lovers against you from all around and will strip you in front of them.
I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers. then my wrath against you will subside and my jealous anger will trun away from you.
The sexual image in this parable is a natural one, especially in view of the sexual rites and prostitution linked with worship of pagan gods.
Why?
Adultery was punishable by death.
God was forgotten, the covenant (like marriage-vow) broken. God must punish them.
The relation between Israelite and God like wife and husband. So as we are with the Lord.
Jealous anger comes from the deep love, because has these love the disappoint turn it to jealous anger.
How?
What I am turst in? I am trust in God.
