Homilies on Psalm 36, Homilia I · §2

Aemulari means to provoke to jealousy

Here aemulari means to provoke jealousy. Deuteronomy: They made me jealous with what is no god; I will make them jealous. Paul asks Are we provoking the Lord to jealousy?. The Lord your God is a jealous God — sin stokes that zeal.

Latin

Aemulari aliquem irritare etiam est et provocare. In Deuteronomio: Ipsi in zelum adduxerunt me in non Deo; et ego in zelum adducam eos. Apostolus: An aemulamur Dominum? Deus noster Deus zelans. Qui peccat Deum zelantem in zelum incitat.
