1 The1 burden aagainst Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is ajealous, and the Lord avenges;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is aslow to anger and bgreat in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
cThe Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
cThe Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 aHe rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
bBashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
And dries up all the rivers.
bBashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth1 heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
The hills melt,
And the earth1 heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
