The burden{H4853} of Nineveh.{H5210} The book{H5612} of the vision{H2377} of Nahum{H5151} the Elkoshite.{H512}

Jehovah{H3068} is a jealous{H7072} God{H410} and avengeth;{H5358} Jehovah{H3068} avengeth{H5358} and is full of wrath;{H1167} Jehovah{H3068} taketh vengeance{H5358} on his adversaries,{H6862} and he reserveth{H5201} [wrath] for his enemies.{H341}

Jehovah{H3068} is slow{H750} to anger,{H639} and great{H1419} in power,{H3581} and will by no means{H5352} clear{H5352} [the guilty]: Jehovah{H3068} hath his way{H1870} in the whirlwind{H5492} and in the storm,{H8183} and the clouds{H6051} are the dust{H80} of his feet.{H7272}

He rebuketh{H1605} the sea,{H3220} and maketh it dry,{H2717} and drieth up{H3001} all the rivers:{H5104} Bashan{H1316} languisheth,{H535} and Carmel;{H3760} and the flower{H6525} of Lebanon{H3844} languisheth.{H535}

The mountains{H2022} quake{H7493} at him, and the hills{H1389} melt;{H4127} and the earth{H776} is upheaved{H5375} at his presence,{H6440} yea, the world,{H8398} and all that dwell{H3427} therein.

Who can stand{H5975} before{H6440} his indignation?{H2195} and who can abide{H6965} in the fierceness{H2740} of his anger?{H639} his wrath{H2534} is poured out{H5413} like fire,{H784} and the rocks{H6697} are broken asunder{H5422} by him.

Jehovah{H3068} is good,{H2896} a stronghold{H4581} in the day{H3117} of trouble;{H6869} and he knoweth{H3045} them that take refuge{H2620} in him.

But with an over-running{H5674} flood{H7858} he will make{H6213} a full end{H3617} of her place,{H4725} and will pursue{H7291} his enemies{H341} into darkness.{H2822}

What do ye devise{H2803} against Jehovah?{H3068} he will make{H6213} a full end;{H3617} affliction{H6869} shall not rise up{H6965} the second time.{H6471}

For entangled{H5440} like thorns,{H5518} and drunken{H5433} as with their drink,{H5435} they are consumed{H398} utterly{H4392} as dry{H3002} stubble.{H7179}

There is one gone forth out{H3318} of thee, that deviseth{H2803} evil{H7451} against Jehovah,{H3068} that counselleth{H3289} wickedness.{H1100}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Though they be in full strength,{H8003} and likewise many,{H7227} even so shall they be cut down,{H1494} and he shall pass away.{H5674} Though I have afflicted{H6031} thee, I will afflict{H6031} thee no more.

And now will I break{H7665} his yoke{H4132} from off thee, and will burst{H5423} thy bonds{H4147} in sunder.{H5423}

And Jehovah{H3068} hath given commandment{H6680} concerning thee, that no more of thy name{H8034} be sown:{H2232} out of the house{H1004} of thy gods{H430} will I cut off{H3772} the graven image{H6459} and the molten image;{H4541} I will make{H7760} thy grave;{H6913} for thou art vile.{H7043}

Behold, upon the mountains{H2022} the feet{H7272} of him that bringeth good tidings,{H1319} that publisheth{H8085} peace!{H7965} Keep{H2287} thy feasts,{H2282} O Judah,{H3063} perform{H7999} thy vows;{H5088} for the wicked{H1100} one shall no more{H3254} pass through{H5674} thee; he is utterly cut off.{H3772}
