Nahum 1

The majesty of God in goodness to his people, and severity against his enemies.

 1:1 The oracle 4853b of Nineveh 5210. The book 5612 of the vision 2377 of Nahum 5151 the Elkoshite 512.

 1:2 ¶ A jealous 7072 and avenging 5358 God 410 is the LORD 3068; The LORD 3068 is avenging 5358 and wrathful 1167 2534. The LORD 3068 takes 5358 vengeance 5358 on His adversaries 6862c, And He reserves 5201 wrath 2534 for His enemies 340.

 1:3 The LORD 3068 is slow 750 to anger 639 and great 1419 in power 3581b, And the LORD 3068 will by no 3808 means 5352 leave 5352 [the guilty] unpunished 5352. In whirlwind 5492a and storm 8183 is His way 1870, And clouds 6051 are the dust 80 beneath His feet 7272.

 1:4 He rebukes 1605 the sea 3220 and makes 3001 it dry 3001; He dries 2717a up all 3605 the rivers 5104. Bashan 1316 and Carmel 3760 wither 535; The blossoms 6525 of Lebanon 3844 wither 535.

 1:5 Mountains 2022 quake 7493 because 4480 of Him And the hills 1389 dissolve 4127; Indeed the earth 776 is upheaved 5375 by His presence 6440, The world 8398 and all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 in it.

 1:6 Who 4310 can stand 5975 before 6440 His indignation 2195? Who 4310 can endure 6965 the burning 2740 of His anger 639? His wrath 2534 is poured 5413 out like fire 784 And the rocks 6697 are broken 5422 up by Him.

 1:7 The LORD 3068 is good 2896a, A stronghold 4581 in the day 3117 of trouble 6869a, And He knows 3045 those who take 2620 refuge 2620 in Him.

 1:8 But with an overflowing 5674a flood 7858 He will make 6213a a complete 3617 end 3617 of its site 4725, And will pursue 7291 His enemies 340 into darkness 2822.

 1:9 ¶ Whatever 4100 you devise 2803 against 413 the LORD 3068, He will make 6213a a complete 3617 end 3617 of it. Distress 6869a will not rise 6965 up twice 6471.

 1:10 Like 5704 tangled 5440 thorns 5518b, And like those who are drunken 5433a with their drink 5435, They are consumed 398 As stubble 7179 completely 4392 withered 3002.

 1:11 From you has gone 3318 forth 3318 One who plotted 2803 evil 7463a against 5921 the LORD 3068, A wicked 1100 counselor 3289.

 1:12 Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, “Though 518 they are at full 8003 [strength] and likewise 3651 many 7227a, Even so 3651, they will be cut 1494 off 1494 and pass 5674a away 5674a. Though I have afflicted 6031a you, I will afflict 6031a you no 3808 longer 5750.

 1:13 “So now 6258, I will break 7665 his yoke 4132 bar 4132 from upon you, And I will tear 5423 off 5423 your shackles 4147.”

 1:14 ¶ The LORD 3068 has issued 6680 a command 6680 concerning 5921 you: “Your name 8034 will no 3808 longer 5750 be perpetuated 2232. I will cut 3772 off 3772 idol 6459 and image 4541a From the house 1004 of your gods 430. I will prepare 7760 your grave 6913, For you are contemptible 7043.”

 1:15 ¶ Behold 2009, on the mountains 2022 the feet 7272 of him who brings 1319 good news 1319, Who announces 8085 peace 7965! Celebrate 2287 your feasts 2282, O Judah 3063; Pay 7999a your vows 5088. For never 3808 5750 again 3254 will the wicked 1100 one pass 5674a through you; He is cut 3772 off 3772 completely 3605.
