NA-1:1  The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum

the Elkohshite.

NA-1:2  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.

NA-1:3  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.

NA-1:4  He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up

all the rivers:

Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon

languisheth.

NA-1:5  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.

NA-1:6  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.

NA-1:7  The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;

and he

knoweth them that trust in him.

NA-1:8  But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end

of the place

thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

NA-1:9  What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an

utter end:

affliction shall not rise up the second time.

NA-1:10  For while [they be] folden together [as] thorns, and

while they are

drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully

dry.

NA-1:11  There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil

against the

LORD, a wicked counsellor.

NA-1:12  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.

NA-1:13  For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will

burst thy bonds

in sunder.

NA-1:14  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.

NA-1:15  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.
