Nahum 1

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

2 God <em>is</em> jealous, and the LORD avenges; the LORD avenges and <em>is</em> furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves <em>wrath</em> for his enemies.

3 The LORD <em>is</em> slow to anger and great in power and will not at all treat the guilty as though they were innocent; the LORD whose way <em>is</em> in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds <em>are</em> the dust of his feet.

4 He reprehends the sea and makes it dry and dries up all the rivers; Bashan was destroyed, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon was destroyed.

5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, and the world and all that dwell therein.

6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

7 The LORD <em>is</em> good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those that trust in him.

8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of his place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end; he will not hold back the tribulation the second time.

10 For while <em>they are</em> entwined together <em>as</em> thorns, and while the drunkards shall be drinking, they shall be devoured as stubble full of dryness.

11 He has come out of thee that has imagined evil against the LORD, a counsellor of Belial.

12 Thus hath the LORD said: For much rest that they have, and though they are many, yet thus shall they be cut down, and <em>he</em> shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

13 For now I will break his yoke from off thee and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

14 And the LORD shall give a commandment concerning thee <em>that</em> no one else of thy name ever be sown; out of the house of thy god I will cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make it thy grave because thou wert vile.

15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, of him that publishes peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows; for Belial shall no longer pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

New International Version NIV

1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and vents his wrath against his enemies.

3 The LORD is slow to anger but great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.

5 The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it.

6 Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him.

7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,

8 but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

9 Whatever they plot against the LORDhe will bring to an end; trouble will not come a second time.

10 They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine; they will be consumed like dry stubble.

11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the LORDand devises wicked plans.

12 This is what the LORD says: “Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more.

13 Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.”

14 The LORD has given a command concerning you, Nineveh: “You will have no descendants to bear your name. I will destroy the images and idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile.”

15 Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you; they will be completely destroyed.
