1
The
burden
of
Nineveh.
The
book
of
the
vision
of
Nahum
the
Elkoshite.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
7
The
LORD
[is]
good,
a
strong
hold
in
the
day
of
trouble;
and
he
knoweth
them
that
trust
in
him.
8
But
with
an
overrunning
flood
he
will
make
an
utter
end
of
the
place
thereof,
and
darkness
shall
pursue
his
enemies.
9
What
do
ye
imagine
against
the
LORD?
he
will
make
an
utter
end:
affliction
shall
not
rise
up
the
second
time.
10
For
while
[they
be]
folden
together
[as]
thorns,
and
while
they
are
drunken
[as]
drunkards,
they
shall
be
devoured
as
stubble
fully
dry.
11
There
is
[one]
come
out
of
thee,
that
imagineth
evil
against
the
LORD,
a
wicked
counsellor.
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.
13
For
now
will
I
break
his
yoke
from
off
thee,
and
will
burst
thy
bonds
in
sunder.
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.
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.
