Although all three prophets went to great lengths to insist that Israel's punishment corresponded to Israel's actions, they did not deny the fact that sometimes the punishment was exceedingly cruel. But that was the price of living in covenant intimacy with God. In fact, in Ezekiel the husband does not apologize for his rage, knows of no restraints in the punishment he metes out, and even fully intends to brutalize his wife until he feels satisfied and avenged:

... I will stop you from playing the whore, and you shall also make no more payments. So I will satisfy my fury on you, and my jealousy shall turn away from you; I will be calm, and will be angry no longer. (Ezek 16:41b-42)
