Tao Bible - Psalm 79:5

How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
~ King James version ~

What could Tao be jealous of?
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
In reference to the hard times that have befallen the "chosen people," the writer laments that God is angry with them and jealous too!

Envy and jealousy derive from desiring something that you do not possess. If Tao is the essential element of all being and nonbeing, what could evoke jealousy?
