NAHUM 1:1  The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.

NAHUM 1:2  The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.

NAHUM 1:3  The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord’s ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

NAHUM 1:4  He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.

NAHUM 1:5  The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.

NAHUM 1:6  Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.

NAHUM 1:7  The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.

NAHUM 1:8  But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

NAHUM 1:9  What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.

NAHUM 1:10  For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.

NAHUM 1:11  Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.

NAHUM 1:12  Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.

NAHUM 1:13  And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.

NAHUM 1:14  And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.

NAHUM 1:15  Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off.
