Nahum 1:7

Destruction of Nineveh

7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; He cares for those who take refuge in Him.[a]

Nahum 1:7 In-Context

5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt; the earth trembles at His presence- the world and all who live in it.
6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, even rocks are shattered before Him.
7 The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; He cares for those who take refuge in Him.
8 But He will completely destroy Nineveh with an overwhelming flood, and He will chase His enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you plot against the Lord, He will bring [it] to complete destruction; oppression will not rise up a second time.
