Nahum 1:2-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord takes vengeance and is fierce in wrath. The Lord takes vengeance against His foes; He is furious with His enemies.

3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power; the Lord will never leave [the guilty] unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

4 He rebukes the sea so that it dries up, and He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; even the flower of Lebanon withers.

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.

10 For they will be consumed like entangled thorns, like a drunkard's drink, and like straw that is fully dry.

11 One has gone out from Nineveh, who plots evil against the Lord, and is a wicked counselor.

12 This is what the Lord says: Though they are strong and numerous, they will still be mowed down, and he will pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.

13 For I will now break off his yoke from you and tear off your shackles.

14 The Lord has issued an order concerning you: There will be no offspring to carry on your name. I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.

15 Look to the mountains- the feet of one bringing good news and proclaiming peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked one will never again march through you; he will be entirely wiped out.
