NAH 01:01 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of
Nahum the Elkohshite.
NAH 01:02 God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD
revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his
adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
NAH 01:03 The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and
will not at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in
the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of
his feet.
NAH 01:04 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up
all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower
of Lebanon languisheth.
NAH 01:05 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and
the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all
that dwell therein.
NAH 01:06 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can
abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out
like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
NAH 01:07 The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of
trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
NAH 01:08 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter
end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
NAH 01:09 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an
utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
NAH 01:10 For while [they be] folden together [as] thorns, and
while they are drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as
stubble fully dry.
NAH 01:11 There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil
against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
NAH 01:12 Thus saith the LORD; Though [they be] quiet, and
likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall
pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee
no more.
NAH 01:13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will
burst thy bonds in sunder.
NAH 01:14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee,
[that] no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy
gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I
will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
NAH 01:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy
solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more
pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
NAH 02:01 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face:
keep the munition, watch the way, make [thy] loins strong,
fortify [thy] power mightily.
NAH 02:02 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob,
as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them
out, and marred their vine branches.
NAH 02:03 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant
men [are] in scarlet: the chariots [shall be] with flaming
torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall
be terribly shaken.
NAH 02:04 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall
justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem
like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
NAH 02:05 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in
their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the
defence shall be prepared.
NAH 02:06 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the
palace shall be dissolved.
NAH 02:07 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be
brought up, and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of
doves, tabering upon their breasts.
NAH 02:08 But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet
they shall flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry]; but none
shall look back.
NAH 02:09 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold:
for [there is] none end of the store [and] glory out of all the
pleasant furniture.
NAH 02:10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart
melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all
loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
NAH 02:11 Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the
feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, [even] the old
lion, walked, [and] the lion's whelp, and none made [them]
afraid?
NAH 02:12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps,
and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey,
and his dens with ravin.
NAH 02:13 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts,
and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall
devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the
earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
NAH 03:01 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies
[and] robbery; the prey departeth not;
NAH 03:02 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of
the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping
chariots.
NAH 03:03 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the
glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a
great number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their]
corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
NAH 03:04 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the
wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth
nations through her whoredoms, and families through her
witchcrafts.
NAH 03:05 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts;
and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show
the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
NAH 03:06 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make
thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
NAH 03:07 And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look
upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste:
who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
NAH 03:08 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate
among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose
rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
NAH 03:09 Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was]
infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
NAH 03:10 Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity:
her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all
the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all
her great men were bound in chains.
NAH 03:11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou
also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
NAH 03:12 All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig trees with
the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into
the mouth of the eater.
NAH 03:13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women:
the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies:
the fire shall devour thy bars.
NAH 03:14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong
holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the
brickkiln.
