jealous God
In the Bible, God is described as a zealous being who cares for his people, those he loves.
The expression "the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this" means that God does not forget his promises, indicating things that will surely be fulfilled.
It is also possible to mention that in this case, zeal is not only care but also jealousy. God does not share His glory, praise and worship with others, and is jealous when His people don't put Him first in their lives.
In 2 Corinthians 11:2, the apostle Paul states, "The zeal I have for you is a zeal that comes from God," which means that God's children must also be zealous.
