Nahum 1



 1. The burden <4853> of Nineveh <5210>. The book <5612> of the 
vision <2377> of Nahum <5151> the Elkoshite <0512>.



 2. God <0410> [is] jealous <7072>, and the LORD <3068> 
revengeth <5358>; the LORD <3068> revengeth <5358>, and [is] 
furious; the LORD <3068> will take vengeance <5358> on his 
adversaries <6862>, and he reserveth <5201> [wrath] for his 
enemies <0341>.



 3 The LORD <3068> [is] slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and great 
<1431> in power <3581>, and will not at all acquit <5352> [the 
wicked <7563>]: the LORD <3068> hath his way <1870> in the 
whirlwind <5492> and in the storm <8183>, and the clouds <6051> 
[are] the dust <80> of his feet <7272>.



 4 He rebuketh <1605> the sea <3220>, and maketh it dry <3001>, 
and drieth <3001> up all <3605> the rivers <5104>: Bashan <1316> 
languisheth <0535>, and Carmel <3760>, and the flower <6525> of 
Lebanon <3844> languisheth <0535>.



 5 The mountains <2022> quake <7493> at him, and the hills 
<1389> melt <4127>, and the earth <0776> is burned <5375> at his 
presence <6440>, yea, the world <8398>, and all <3605> that 
dwell <3427> therein.



 6 Who <4310> can stand <5975> before <6440> his indignation 
<2195>? and who <4310> can abide <6965> in the fierceness <2740> 
of his anger <0639>? his fury <2534> is poured <5413> out like 
fire <0784>, and the rocks <6697> are thrown <5422> down <5422> 
by him.



 7 The LORD <3068> [is] good <2896>, a strong <4581> hold <4581> 
in the day <3117> of trouble <6869>; and he knoweth <3045> them 
that trust <2620> in him.



 8 But with an overrunning <5674> flood <7858> he will make 
<6213> an utter <3617> end <3615> of the place <4725> thereof, 
and darkness <2822> shall pursue <7291> his enemies <0341>.



 9. What <4100> do ye imagine <2803> against <0413> the LORD 
<3068>? he will make <6213> an utter <3617> end <3615>: 
affliction <6869> shall not rise <6965> up the second time 
<6471>.



 10 For while <5704> [they be] folden <5440> together [as] 
thorns <5518>, and while they are drunken <5435> [as] drunkards 
<5435>, they shall be devoured <0398> as stubble <7179> fully 
<4390> dry <3002>.



 11 There is [one] come <3318> out of thee, that imagineth 
<2803> evil <7451> against <5921> the LORD <3068>, a wicked 
<1100> counsellor <3289>.



 12 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; Though <0518> 
[they be] quiet <8003>, and likewise <3651> many <7227>, yet 
thus <3651> shall they be cut <1494> down, when <3588> he shall 
pass <5674> through. Though I have afflicted <6031> thee, I will 
afflict <6031> thee no <3808> more <5750>.



 13 For now <6258> will I break <7665> his yoke <4132> from off 
<5921> thee, and will burst <5423> thy bonds <4147> in sunder.



 14 And the LORD <3068> hath given a commandment <6680> 
concerning <5921> thee, [that] no <3808> more <5750> of thy name 
<8034> be sown <2232>: out of the house <1004> of thy gods 
<0430> will I cut <3772> off the graven <6459> image and the 
molten <4541> image: I will make <7760> thy grave <6913>; for 
thou art vile <7043>.



 15 Behold <2209> upon the mountains <2022> the feet <7272> of 
him that bringeth <1319> good <1319> tidings <1319>, that 
publisheth <8085> peace <7965>! O Judah <3063>, keep <2287> thy 
solemn <2282> feasts <2282>, perform <7999> thy vows <5088>: for 
the wicked <1100> shall no <3808> more pass <5674> through thee; 
he is utterly <3605> cut <3772> off.



Nahum 2



 1. He that dasheth <6327> in pieces is come <5927> up before 
<5921> thy face <6440>: keep <5341> the munition <4694>, watch 
<6822> the way <1870>, make [thy] loins <4975> strong <2388>, 
fortify <0553> [thy] power <3581> mightily <3966>.



 2 For the LORD <3068> hath turned <7725> away the excellency 
<1347> of Jacob <3290>, as the excellency <1347> of Israel 
<3478>: for the emptiers <1238> have emptied <1238> them out, 
and marred <7843> their vine <2156> branches <2156>.



 3 The shield <4043> of his mighty <1368> men is made red <0119>,
 the valiant <2428> men <0582> [are] in scarlet <8529>: the 
chariots <7393> [shall be] with flaming <0784> torches <6393> in 
the day <3117> of his preparation <3559>, and the fir <1265> 
trees shall be terribly shaken <7477>.



 4 The chariots <7393> shall rage <1984> in the streets <2351>, 
they shall justle <8264> one against another <8264> in the broad 
<7339> ways: they shall seem <4758> like torches <3940>, they 
shall run <7323> like the lightnings <1300>.



 5 He shall recount <2142> his worthies <0117>: they shall 
stumble <3782> in their walk <1979>; they shall make haste 
<4116> to the wall <2346> thereof, and the defence <5526> shall 
be prepared <3559>.



 6 The gates <8179> of the rivers <5104> shall be opened <6605>, 
and the palace <1964> shall be dissolved <4127>.



 7 And Huzzab <5324> shall be led away <1540> captive <1540>, 
she shall be brought <5927> up, and her maids <0519> shall lead 
<5090> [her] as with the voice <6963> of doves <3123>, tabering 
<8608> upon their breasts <3824>.



 8 But Nineveh <5210> [is] of old <3117> like a pool <1295> of 
water <4325>: yet they shall flee <5127> away. Stand <5975>, 
stand <5975>, [shall they cry]; but none <0369> shall look 
<6437> back <6437>.



 9 Take <0962> ye the spoil <0962> of silver <3701>, take <0962> 
the spoil <7997> of gold <2091>: for [there is] none <0369> end 
<7097> of the store <8498> [and] glory <3519> out of all <3605> 
the pleasant <2532> furniture <3627>.



 10 She is empty <0950>, and void <4003>, and waste <1110>: and 
the heart <3820> melteth <4549>, and the knees <1290> smite 
<6375> together, and much <2479> pain <2479> [is] in all <3605> 
loins <4975>, and the faces <6440> of them all <3605> gather 
<6908> blackness <6289>.



 11. Where <0346> [is] the dwelling <4583> of the lions <0738>, 
and the feedingplace <7462> of the young <3715> lions <3715>, 
where the lion <0739>, [even] the old lion <3833>, walked <1980>,
 [and] the lion's <0738> whelp <1482>, and none <0369> made 
[them] afraid <2729>?



 12 The lion <0738> did tear <2963> in pieces enough <1767> for 
his whelps <1484>, and strangled <2614> for his lionesses <3833>,
 and filled <4390> his holes <2356> with prey <2964>, and his 
dens <4585> with ravin <2966>.



 13 Behold <2205>, I [am] against <0413> thee, saith <5002> the 
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, and I will burn <1197> her chariots 
<7393> in the smoke <6227>, and the sword <2719> shall devour 
<0398> thy young <3715> lions <3715>: and I will cut <3772> off 
thy prey <2964> from the earth <0776>, and the voice <6963> of 
thy messengers <4397> shall no <3808> more <5750> be heard 
<8085>.



Nahum 3



 1. Woe <1945> to the bloody <1818> city <5892>! it [is] all 
<3605> full <4392> of lies <3585> [and] robbery <6503>; the prey 
<2964> departeth <4185> not;



 2 The noise <6963> of a whip <7752>, and the noise <6963> of 
the rattling <7494> of the wheels <0212>, and of the pransing 
<1725> horses <5483>, and of the jumping <7540> chariots <4818>.



 3 The horseman <6571> lifteth <5927> up both the bright <3851> 
sword <2719> and the glittering <1300> spear <2595>: and [there 
is] a multitude <7230> of slain <2491>, and a great <3514> 
number of carcases <6297>; and [there is] none <0369> end <7097> 
of [their] corpses <1472>; they stumble <3782> upon their 
corpses <1472>:



 4 Because of the multitude <7230> of the whoredoms <2183> of 
the wellfavoured harlot <2181>, the mistress <1172> of 
witchcrafts <3785>, that selleth <4376> nations <1471> through 
her whoredoms <2183>, and families <4940> through her 
witchcrafts <3785>.



 5 Behold <2205>, I [am] against <0413> thee, saith <5002> the 
LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>; and I will discover <1540> thy 
skirts <7757> upon thy face <6440>, and I will shew <7200> the 
nations <1471> thy nakedness <4626>, and the kingdoms <4467> thy 
shame <7036>.



 6 And I will cast <7993> abominable <8251> filth upon thee, and 
make thee vile <5034>, and will set <7760> thee as a gazingstock 
<7210>.



 7 And it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] all <3605> they that 
look <7200> upon thee shall flee <5074> from thee, and say 
<0559>, Nineveh <5210> is laid waste <7703>: who <4310> will 
bemoan <5110> her? whence <0370> shall I seek <1245> comforters 
<5162> for thee?



 8. Art thou better <3190> than populous <0527> No, that was 
situate <3427> among the rivers <2975>, [that had] the waters 
<4325> round <5439> about it, whose <0834> rampart <2426> [was] 
the sea <3220>, [and] her wall <2346> [was] from the sea <3220>?



 9 Ethiopia <3568> and Egypt <4714> [were] her strength <6109>, 
and [it was] infinite; Put <6316> and Lubim <3864> were thy 
helpers <5833>.



 10 Yet <1571> [was] she carried <1473> away <1473>, she went 
<1980> into captivity <7628>: her young children <5768> also 
<1571> were dashed <7376> in pieces at the top <7218> of all 
<3605> the streets <2351>: and they cast <3032> lots <1486> for 
her honourable <3513> men, and all <3605> her great <1419> men 
were bound <7576> in chains <2131>.



 11 Thou also <1571> shalt be drunken <7937>: thou shalt be hid 
<5956>, thou also <1571> shalt seek <1245> strength <4581> 
because of the enemy <0341>.



 12 All <3605> thy strong <4013> holds <4013> [shall be like] 
fig <8384> trees with the firstripe <1063> figs: if <0518> they 
be shaken <5128>, they shall even fall <5307> into <5921> the 
mouth <6310> of the eater <0398>.



 13 Behold <2009>, thy people <5971> in the midst <7130> of thee 
[are] women <0802>: the gates <8179> of thy land <0776> shall be 
set wide <6605> open <6605> unto thine enemies <0341>: the fire 
<0784> shall devour <0398> thy bars <1280>.



 14 Draw <7579> thee waters <4325> for the siege <4692>, fortify 
<2388> thy strong <4013> holds <4013>: go <0935> into clay 
<2916>, and tread <7429> the morter <2563>, make strong <2388> 
the brickkiln <4404>.



 15 There <8033> shall the fire <0784> devour <0398> thee; the 
sword <2719> shall cut <3772> thee off, it shall eat <0398> thee 
up like the cankerworm <3218>: make thyself many <3513> as the 
cankerworm <3218>, make thyself many <3513> as the locusts 
<0697>.



 16 Thou hast multiplied <7235> thy merchants <7402> above the 
stars <3556> of heaven <8064>: the cankerworm <3218> spoileth 
<6584>, and flieth <5775> away.



 17 Thy crowned <4502> [are] as the locusts <0697>, and thy 
captains <2951> as the great <1462> grasshoppers <1462>, which 
camp <2583> in the hedges <1448> in the cold <7135> day <3117>, 
[but] when the sun <8121> ariseth <2224> they flee <5074> away, 
and their place <4725> is not known <3045> where <0335> they 
[are].



 18 Thy shepherds <7462> slumber <5123>, O king <4428> of 
Assyria <0804>: thy nobles <0117> shall dwell <7931> [in the 
dust]: thy people <5971> is scattered <6340> upon the mountains 
<2022>, and no <0369> man gathereth <6908> [them].



 19 [There is] no <0369> healing <3545> of thy bruise <7667>; 
thy wound <4347> is grievous <2470>: all <3605> that hear <8085> 
the bruit <8088> of thee shall clap <8628> the hands <3709> over 
<5921> thee: for upon whom <4310> hath not thy wickedness <7451> 
passed <5674> continually <8548>?
