\v 1 The declaration about Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath;
|
|
\q Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will by no means declare his enemies innocent.
|
|
\q Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers.
|
|
\q Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt;
|
|
\q the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger?
|
|
\q His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 What are you people plotting against Yahweh?
|
|
\q He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink;
|
|
\q they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 This is what Yahweh says,
|
|
\q "Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared;
|
|
\q their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 And Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh:
|
|
\q "There will be no more descendants bearing your name.
|
|
\q I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods.
|
|
\q I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace!
|
|
\q Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows,
|
|
\q for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
