34 because jealousy incites a strong man's rage, and he will show no mercy when it's time for revenge. For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge. For jealousy arouses a husband’s fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will not consider any payment, nor will he be willing to accept it, no matter how large the bribe. He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts. He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.
