Naum 1:6

6 Quem pode resistir à sua indignação?Quem pode suportar o despertar de sua ira?O seu furor se derrama como fogo,e as rochas se despedaçam diante dele.

Naum 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 1:6

Who can stand before his indignation?
&c.] No creature whatever; no man nor body of men; not Nineveh, and the inhabitants of it; nor the whole Assyrian empire: and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?
not the great men of the earth; not kings or generals of armies; not kingdoms and nations, ever so numerous and powerful; but all must be consumed by him, who is a consuming fire; see ( Jeremiah 10:10 ) ( Revelation 6:15-17 ) ; his fury is poured out like fire;
or like metal that is melted by fire, and poured out by the force of it; or like fire of lightning poured out of the heavens, which is quick, powerful, and penetrating, and there is no resisting it: and the rocks are thrown down by him;
by the Lord, by his wrath and fury; kingdoms that seemed as strong and immovable as rocks and mountains are thrown down; as such have been by the force of fire bursting from the midst of them, as Etna, Vesuvius, and others.

Naum 1:6 In-Context

4 Ele repreende o mar e o faz secar,faz que todos os rios se sequem.Basã e o Carmelo se desvaneceme as flores do Líbano murcham.

5 Quando ele se aproxima, os montes trememe as colinas se derretem.A terra se agita na sua presença,o mundo e todos os que nele vivem.

6 Quem pode resistir à sua indignação?Quem pode suportar o despertar de sua ira?O seu furor se derrama como fogo,e as rochas se despedaçam diante dele.

7 O SENHOR é bom,um refúgio em tempos de angústia.Ele protege os que nele confiam,

8 mas com uma enchente devastadoradará fim a Nínive;expulsará os seus inimigos para a escuridão.
