How do we know God is jealous for His glory?

Answered in 2 sources

God's jealousy for His glory is evident in His command against idolatry and His fierce opposition to anything that detracts from His honor.

God's jealousy for His glory manifests through His intolerance of idolatry, as seen in the commandments given in Exodus 20, especially in verse 5 where He warns against worshiping other gods. This divine jealousy serves as a protective measure for His reputation and character. God demands that His mighty acts and attributes be recognized as the source of true glory, and He will not share this glory with anyone or anything. His zeal for His honor ensures that He actively intervenes against false worship and rebellion, highlighting His rightful claim to exclusive devotion from His creation.
