Nahum 1:1-15 — The Lord's Anger Against Nineveh
Nah.1.1-15
1An oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite . 2The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies. 3The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet. 4He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the blossom of Lebanon withers. 5The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth heaves at his presence—the world and all who dwell in it. 6Who can stand before his indignation? And who can endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are shattered by him. 7The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; and he knows those who take refuge in him. 8But with an overflowing flood he will bring about a complete end of Nineveh's place, and darkness will pursue his enemies. 9What do you plot against the LORD? He will bring about a complete end; affliction will not rise up a second time. 10For though they are entangled like thorns and drunk as with their drink, they will be utterly consumed like fully dry stubble. 11From you comes forth one who plots evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor. 12Thus says the LORD: "Though they are at full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. 13And now I will break his yoke from your neck, and I will tear apart your shackles." 14The LORD has issued a command concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. From the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the cast idol. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile.” 15Behold, on the mountains are the feet of a herald who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked one will never again pass through you; he is completely cut off.
