On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"When discovered, thou hadst better meet a bear robbed of her whelps than the injured husband, who, in the case of adultery, will be as severe an avenger of his own honour as, in the case of manslaughter, of his brother's blood. If thou art not afraid of the wrath of God, yet be afraid of the rage of a man. Such jealousy is; it is strong as death and cruel as the grave.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
