jealousy of
An intense emotional state involving ardor, zeal, or passionate concern—often, but not exclusively, for the defense of what one perceives as one's rights, relationships, or societal obligations. In different contexts, it denotes zeal (particularly religious zeal, e.g., for the YHWH or for justice), jealousy (as in possessiveness or fear of losing what one values), or envy (as in the desire for something belonging to another). Usage depends on both subject and context: from justified passionate defense, to destructive envy, to religious fervor.
