Nahum
chapter 1
1
The
burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.
2 The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord
is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries,
and he is angry with his enemies.
3 The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not
cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a
whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth
all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of
Libanus fadeth away.
5 The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made
desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all
that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and
who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out
like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.
7 The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of
trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8 But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an
utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an
utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10 For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are
feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully
dry.
11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil
against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
12 Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and
many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have
afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.
13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he
struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.
14 And the Lord will give a commandment concerning
thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and
molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou
art disgraced.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals,
and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is
utterly cut off.
