ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

Nahum 1

1. The burden <4853 massa> > of Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh >. The

book <5612 cepher > of the vision <2377 chazown > of Nahum <5151

Nachuwm > the Elkoshite <0512 >Elqoshiy >.

2. God <0410 >el > [is] jealous <7072 qannow> >, and the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > revengeth <5358 naqam >; the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

> revengeth <5358 naqam >, and [is] furious; the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > will take vengeance <5358 naqam > on his adversaries

<6862 tsar >, and he reserveth <5201 natar > [wrath] for his

enemies <0341 >oyeb >.

3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] slow <0750 >arek > to anger

<0639 >aph >, and great <1431 gadal > in power <3581 koach >,

and will not at all acquit <5352 naqah > [the wicked <7563

rasha< >]: the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath his way <1870 derek >

in the whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > and in the storm <8183 s@<arah

>, and the clouds <6051 <anan > [are] the dust <80> of his feet

<7272 regel >.

4 He rebuketh <1605 ga<ar > the sea <3220 yam >, and maketh it

dry <3001 yabesh >, and drieth <3001 yabesh > up all <3605 kol >

the rivers <5104 nahar >: Bashan <1316 Bashan > languisheth

<0535 >amal >, and Carmel <3760 Karmel >, and the flower <6525

perach > of Lebanon <3844 L@banown > languisheth <0535 >amal >.

5 The mountains <2022 har > quake <7493 ra<ash > at him, and

the hills <1389 gib<ah > melt <4127 muwg >, and the earth <0776

>erets > is burned <5375 nasa> > at his presence <6440 paniym >,

yea, the world <8398 tebel >, and all <3605 kol > that dwell

<3427 yashab > therein.

6 Who <4310 miy > can stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym >

his indignation <2195 za<am >? and who <4310 miy > can abide

<6965 quwm > in the fierceness <2740 charown > of his anger

<0639 >aph >? his fury <2534 chemah > is poured <5413 nathak >

out like fire <0784 >esh >, and the rocks <6697 tsuwr > are

thrown <5422 nathats > down <5422 nathats > by him.

7 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] good <2896 towb >, a strong

<4581 ma<owz > hold <4581 ma<owz > in the day <3117 yowm > of

trouble <6869 tsarah >; and he knoweth <3045 yada< > them that

trust <2620 chacah > in him.

8 But with an overrunning <5674 <abar > flood <7858 sheteph >

he will make <6213 <asah > an utter <3617 kalah > end <3615

kalah > of the place <4725 maqowm > thereof, and darkness <2822

choshek > shall pursue <7291 radaph > his enemies <0341 >oyeb >.

9. What <4100 mah > do ye imagine <2803 chashab > against <0413

>el > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? he will make <6213 <asah > an

utter <3617 kalah > end <3615 kalah >: affliction <6869 tsarah >

shall not rise <6965 quwm > up the second time <6471 pa<am >.

10 For while <5704 <ad > [they be] folden <5440 cabak >

together [as] thorns <5518 ciyr >, and while they are drunken

<5435 cobe> > [as] drunkards <5435 cobe> >, they shall be

devoured <0398 >akal > as stubble <7179 qash > fully <4390 male>

> dry <3002 yabesh >.

11 There is [one] come <3318 yatsa> > out of thee, that

imagineth <2803 chashab > evil <7451 ra< > against <5921 <al >

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, a wicked <1100 b@liya<al > counsellor

<3289 ya<ats >.

12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

>; Though <0518 >im > [they be] quiet <8003 shalem >, and

likewise <3651 ken > many <7227 rab >, yet thus <3651 ken >

shall they be cut <1494 gazaz > down, when <3588 kiy > he shall

pass <5674 <abar > through. Though I have afflicted <6031 <anah

> thee, I will afflict <6031 <anah > thee no <3808 lo> > more

<5750 <owd >.

13 For now <6258 <attah > will I break <7665 shabar > his yoke

<4132 mowt > from off <5921 <al > thee, and will burst <5423

nathaq > thy bonds <4147 mowcer > in sunder.

14 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath given a commandment <6680

tsavah > concerning <5921 <al > thee, [that] no <3808 lo> > more

<5750 <owd > of thy name <8034 shem > be sown <2232 zara< >: out

of the house <1004 bayith > of thy gods <0430 >elohiym > will I

cut <3772 karath > off the graven <6459 pecel > image and the

molten <4541 maccekah > image: I will make <7760 suwm > thy

grave <6913 qeber >; for thou art vile <7043 qalal >.

15 Behold <2209 ziqnah > upon the mountains <2022 har > the

feet <7272 regel > of him that bringeth <1319 basar > good <1319

basar > tidings <1319 basar >, that publisheth <8085 shama< >

peace <7965 shalowm >! O Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, keep <2287

chagag > thy solemn <2282 chag > feasts <2282 chag >, perform

<7999 shalam > thy vows <5088 neder >: for the wicked <1100

b@liya<al > shall no <3808 lo> > more pass <5674 <abar > through

thee; he is utterly <3605 kol > cut <3772 karath > off.

Nahum 2

1. He that dasheth <6327 puwts > in pieces is come <5927 <alah

natsar > the munition <4694 m@tsuwrah >, watch <6822 tsaphah >

the way <1870 derek >, make [thy] loins <4975 mothen > strong

<2388 chazaq >, fortify <0553 >amats > [thy] power <3581 koach >

mightily <3966 m@<od >.

2 For the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath turned <7725 shuwb > away

the excellency <1347 ga>own > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, as the

excellency <1347 ga>own > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: for the

emptiers <1238 baqaq > have emptied <1238 baqaq > them out, and

marred <7843 shachath > their vine <2156 z@mowrah > branches

<2156 z@mowrah >.

3 The shield <4043 magen > of his mighty <1368 gibbowr > men is

made red <0119 >adam >, the valiant <2428 chayil > men <0582

>enowsh > [are] in scarlet <8529 tala< >: the chariots <7393

rekeb > [shall be] with flaming <0784 >esh > torches <6393

p@ladah > in the day <3117 yowm > of his preparation <3559 kuwn

>, and the fir <1265 b@rowsh > trees shall be terribly shaken

<7477 ra<al >.

4 The chariots <7393 rekeb > shall rage <1984 halal > in the

streets <2351 chuwts >, they shall justle <8264 shaqaq > one

against another <8264 shaqaq > in the broad <7339 r@chob > ways:

they shall seem <4758 mar>eh > like torches <3940 lappiyd >,

they shall run <7323 ruwts > like the lightnings <1300 baraq >.

5 He shall recount <2142 zakar > his worthies <0117 >addiyr >:

they shall stumble <3782 kashal > in their walk <1979 haliykah >;

they shall make haste <4116 mahar > to the wall <2346 chowmah >

thereof, and the defence <5526 cakak > shall be prepared <3559

kuwn >.

6 The gates <8179 sha<ar > of the rivers <5104 nahar > shall be

opened <6605 pathach >, and the palace <1964 heykal > shall be

dissolved <4127 muwg >.

7 And Huzzab <5324 natsab > shall be led away <1540 galah >

captive <1540 galah >, she shall be brought <5927 <alah > up,

and her maids <0519 >amah > shall lead <5090 nahag > [her] as

with the voice <6963 qowl > of doves <3123 yownah >, tabering

<8608 taphaph > upon their breasts <3824 lebab >.

8 But Nineveh <5210 Niyn@veh > [is] of old <3117 yowm > like a

pool <1295 b@rekah > of water <4325 mayim >: yet they shall flee

<5127 nuwc > away. Stand <5975 <amad >, stand <5975 <amad >,

[shall they cry]; but none <0369 >ayin > shall look <6437 panah

> back <6437 panah >.

9 Take <0962 bazaz > ye the spoil <0962 bazaz > of silver <3701

keceph >, take <0962 bazaz > the spoil <7997 shalal > of gold

<2091 zahab >: for [there is] none <0369 >ayin > end <7097

qatseh > of the store <8498 t@kuwnah > [and] glory <3519 kabowd

> out of all <3605 kol > the pleasant <2532 chemdah > furniture

<3627 k@liy >.

10 She is empty <0950 buwqah >, and void <4003 m@buwqah >, and

waste <1110 balaq >: and the heart <3820 leb > melteth <4549

macac >, and the knees <1290 berek > smite <6375 piyq > together,

and much <2479 chalchalah > pain <2479 chalchalah > [is] in all

<3605 kol > loins <4975 mothen >, and the faces <6440 paniym >

of them all <3605 kol > gather <6908 qabats > blackness <6289

pa>ruwr >.

11. Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] the dwelling <4583 ma<own > of the

lions <0738 >ariy >, and the feedingplace <7462 ra<ah > of the

young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr >, where the lion

<0739 >ariy>el >, [even] the old lion <3833 labiy> >, walked

<1980 halak >, [and] the lion's <0738 >ariy > whelp <1482 guwr >,

and none <0369 >ayin > made [them] afraid <2729 charad >?

12 The lion <0738 >ariy > did tear <2963 taraph > in pieces

enough <1767 day > for his whelps <1484 gowr >, and strangled

<2614 chanaq > for his lionesses <3833 labiy> >, and filled

<4390 male> > his holes <2356 chowr > with prey <2964 tereph >,

and his dens <4585 m@<ownah > with ravin <2966 t@rephah >.

13 Behold <2205 zaqen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >,

and I will burn <1197 ba<ar > her chariots <7393 rekeb > in the

smoke <6227 <ashan >, and the sword <2719 chereb > shall devour

<0398 >akal > thy young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr >:

and I will cut <3772 karath > off thy prey <2964 tereph > from

the earth <0776 >erets >, and the voice <6963 qowl > of thy

messengers <4397 mal>ak > shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd >

be heard <8085 shama< >.

Nahum 3

1. Woe <1945 howy > to the bloody <1818 dam > city <5892 <iyr >!

it [is] all <3605 kol > full <4392 male> > of lies <3585

kachash > [and] robbery <6503 Parbar >; the prey <2964 tereph >

departeth <4185 muwsh > not;

2 The noise <6963 qowl > of a whip <7752 showt >, and the noise

<6963 qowl > of the rattling <7494 ra<ash > of the wheels <0212

>owphan >, and of the pransing <1725 dahar > horses <5483 cuwc >,

and of the jumping <7540 raqad > chariots <4818 merkabah >.

3 The horseman <6571 parash > lifteth <5927 <alah > up both the

bright <3851 lahab > sword <2719 chereb > and the glittering

<1300 baraq > spear <2595 chaniyth >: and [there is] a multitude

<7230 rob > of slain <2491 chalal >, and a great <3514 kobed >

number of carcases <6297 peger >; and [there is] none <0369

>ayin > end <7097 qatseh > of [their] corpses <1472 g@viyah >;

they stumble <3782 kashal > upon their corpses <1472 g@viyah >:

4 Because of the multitude <7230 rob > of the whoredoms <2183

zanuwn > of the wellfavoured harlot <2181 zanah >, the mistress

<1172 ba<alah > of witchcrafts <3785 kesheph >, that selleth

<4376 makar > nations <1471 gowy > through her whoredoms <2183

zanuwn >, and families <4940 mishpachah > through her

witchcrafts <3785 kesheph >.

5 Behold <2205 zaqen >, I [am] against <0413 >el > thee, saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >;

and I will discover <1540 galah > thy skirts <7757 shuwl > upon

thy face <6440 paniym >, and I will shew <7200 ra>ah > the

nations <1471 gowy > thy nakedness <4626 ma<ar >, and the

kingdoms <4467 mamlakah > thy shame <7036 qalown >.

6 And I will cast <7993 shalak > abominable <8251 shiqquwts >

filth upon thee, and make thee vile <5034 nabel >, and will set

<7760 suwm > thee as a gazingstock <7210 ro>iy >.

7 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] all <3605 kol

laid waste <7703 shadad >: who <4310 miy > will bemoan <5110

nuwd > her? whence <0370 >aiyn > shall I seek <1245 baqash >

comforters <5162 nacham > for thee?

8. Art thou better <3190 yatab > than populous <0527 >amown >

No, that was situate <3427 yashab > among the rivers <2975 y@<or

about it, whose <0834 >aher > rampart <2426 cheyl > [was] the

sea <3220 yam >, [and] her wall <2346 chowmah > [was] from the

sea <3220 yam >?

9 Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > and Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > [were] her

strength <6109 <otsmah >, and [it was] infinite; Put <6316 Puwt

> and Lubim <3864 Luwbiy > were thy helpers <5833 <ezrah >.

10 Yet <1571 gam > [was] she carried <1473 gowlah > away <1473

gowlah >, she went <1980 halak > into captivity <7628 sh@biy >:

her young children <5768 <owlel > also <1571 gam > were dashed

<7376 ratash > in pieces at the top <7218 ro>sh > of all <3605

kol > the streets <2351 chuwts >: and they cast <3032 yadad >

lots <1486 gowral > for her honourable <3513 kabad > men, and

all <3605 kol > her great <1419 gadowl > men were bound <7576

rathaq > in chains <2131 ziyqah >.

11 Thou also <1571 gam > shalt be drunken <7937 shakar >: thou

shalt be hid <5956 <alam >, thou also <1571 gam > shalt seek

<1245 baqash > strength <4581 ma<owz > because of the enemy

<0341 >oyeb >.

12 All <3605 kol > thy strong <4013 mibtsar > holds <4013

mibtsar > [shall be like] fig <8384 t@>en > trees with the

firstripe <1063 bikkuwrah > figs: if <0518 >im > they be shaken

<5128 nuwa< >, they shall even fall <5307 naphal > into <5921

<al > the mouth <6310 peh > of the eater <0398 >akal >.

13 Behold <2009 hinneh >, thy people <5971 <am > in the midst

<7130 qereb > of thee [are] women <0802 >ishshah >: the gates

<8179 sha<ar > of thy land <0776 >erets > shall be set wide

<6605 pathach > open <6605 pathach > unto thine enemies <0341

>oyeb >: the fire <0784 >esh > shall devour <0398 >akal > thy

bars <1280 b@riyach >.

14 Draw <7579 sha>ab > thee waters <4325 mayim > for the siege

<4692 matsowr >, fortify <2388 chazaq > thy strong <4013 mibtsar

and tread <7429 ramac > the morter <2563 chomer >, make strong

<2388 chazaq > the brickkiln <4404 malben >.

15 There <8033 sham > shall the fire <0784 >esh > devour <0398

>akal > thee; the sword <2719 chereb > shall cut <3772 karath >

thee off, it shall eat <0398 >akal > thee up like the cankerworm

<3218 yekeq >: make thyself many <3513 kabad > as the cankerworm

<3218 yekeq >, make thyself many <3513 kabad > as the locusts

<0697 >arbeh >.

16 Thou hast multiplied <7235 rabah > thy merchants <7402 rakal

cankerworm <3218 yekeq > spoileth <6584 pashat >, and flieth

<5775 <owph > away.

17 Thy crowned <4502 minn@zar > [are] as the locusts <0697

>arbeh >, and thy captains <2951 tiphcar > as the great <1462

gowb > grasshoppers <1462 gowb >, which camp <2583 chanah > in

the hedges <1448 g@derah > in the cold <7135 qarah > day <3117

yowm >, [but] when the sun <8121 shemesh > ariseth <2224 zarach

is not known <3045 yada< > where <0335 >ay > they [are].

18 Thy shepherds <7462 ra<ah > slumber <5123 nuwm >, O king

<4428 melek > of Assyria <0804 >Ashshuwr >: thy nobles <0117

>addiyr > shall dwell <7931 shakan > [in the dust]: thy people

<5971 <am > is scattered <6340 pazar > upon the mountains <2022

19 [There is] no <0369 >ayin > healing <3545 kehah > of thy

bruise <7667 sheber >; thy wound <4347 makkah > is grievous

<2470 chalah >: all <3605 kol > that hear <8085 shama< > the

bruit <8088 shema< > of thee shall clap <8628 taqa< > the hands

<3709 kaph > over <5921 <al > thee: for upon whom <4310 miy >

continually <8548 tamiyd >?
