Nahum 1:2-8 (Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
2
The Lord God tolerates no rivals; he punishes those who oppose him. In his anger he pays them back.
3
The Lord does not easily become angry, but he is powerful and never lets the guilty go unpunished. Where the Lord walks, storms arise; the clouds are the dust raised by his feet!
4
He commands the sea, and it dries up! He makes the rivers go dry. The fields of Bashan wither, Mount Carmel turns brown, and the flowers of Lebanon fade.
5
Mountains quake in the presence of the Lord; hills melt before him. The earth shakes when the Lord appears; the world and all its people tremble.
6
When he is angry, who can survive? Who can survive his terrible fury? He pours out his flaming anger; rocks crumble to dust before him.
7
The Lord is good; he protects his people in times of trouble; he takes care of those who turn to him.
8
Like a great rushing flood he completely destroys his enemies; a he sends to their death those who oppose him.
