Dual Panel1The burden <04853> of Nineveh <05210>_. The book <05612> of the vision <02377> of Nahum <05151> the Elkoshite <0512>_.
2God <0410> [is] jealous <07072>_, and the LORD <03068> revengeth <05358> (8802)_; the LORD <03068> revengeth <05358> (8802)_, and [is] furious <01167> <02534>_; the LORD <03068> will take vengeance <05358> (8802) on his adversaries <06862>_, and he reserveth <05201> (8802) [wrath] for his enemies <0341> (8802)_. {God...: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
3The LORD <03068> [is] slow <0750> to anger <0639>_, and great <01419> in power <03581>_, and will not at all <05352> (8763) acquit <05352> (8762) [the wicked]: the LORD <03068> hath his way <01870> in the whirlwind <05492> and in the storm <08183>_, and the clouds <06051> [are] the dust <080> of his feet <07272>_.
4He rebuketh <01605> (8802) the sea <03220>_, and maketh it dry <02717> (8689)_, and drieth up <03001> (8762) all the rivers <05104>_: Bashan <01316> languisheth <0535> (8797)_, and Carmel <03760>_, and the flower <06525> of Lebanon <03844> languisheth <0535> (8797)_.
5The mountains <02022> quake <07493> (8804) at him, and the hills <01389> melt <04127> (8712)_, and the earth <0776> is burned <05375> (8799) at his presence <06440>_, yea, the world <08398>_, and all that dwell <03427> (8802) therein.
6Who can stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> his indignation <02195>_? and who can abide <06965> (8799) in the fierceness <02740> of his anger <0639>_? his fury <02534> is poured out <05413> (8738) like fire <0784>_, and the rocks <06697> are thrown down <05422> (8738) by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
7The LORD <03068> [is] good <02896>_, a strong hold <04581> in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>_; and he knoweth <03045> (8802) them that trust <02620> (8802) in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
8But with an overrunning <05674> (8802) flood <07858> he will make <06213> (8799) an utter end <03617> of the place <04725> thereof, and darkness <02822> shall pursue <07291> (8762) his enemies <0341> (8802)_.
9What do ye imagine <02803> (8762) against the LORD <03068>_? he will make <06213> (8802) an utter end <03617>_: affliction <06869> shall not rise up <06965> (8799) the second time <06471>_.
10For while [they be] folden together <05440> (8803) [as] thorns <05518>_, and while they are drunken <05433> (8803) [as] drunkards <05435>_, they shall be devoured <0398> (8795) as stubble <07179> fully <04392> dry <03002>_.
11There is [one] come out <03318> (8804) of thee, that imagineth <02803> (8802) evil <07451> against the LORD <03068>_, a wicked <01100> counsellor <03289> (8802)_. {a wicked...: Heb. a counsellor of Belial}
12Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>_; Though [they be] quiet <08003>_, and likewise many <07227>_, yet thus shall they be cut down <01494> (8738)_, when he shall pass through <05674> (8804)_. Though I have afflicted <06031> (8765) thee, I will afflict <06031> (8762) thee no more. {Though...: or, If they would have been at peace, so should they have been many, and so should they have been shorn, and he should have passed away} {cut down: Heb. shorn}
13For now will I break <07665> (8799) his yoke <04132> from off thee, and will burst <05423> (0) thy bonds <04147> in sunder <05423> (8762)_.
14And the LORD <03068> hath given a commandment <06680> (8765) concerning thee, [that] no more of thy name <08034> be sown <02232> (8735)_: out of the house <01004> of thy gods <0430> will I cut off <03772> (8686) the graven image <06459> and the molten image <04541>_: I will make <07760> (8799) thy grave <06913>_; for thou art vile <07043> (8804)_.
15Behold upon the mountains <02022> the feet <07272> of him that bringeth good tidings <01319> (8764)_, that publisheth <08085> (8688) peace <07965>_! O Judah <03063>_, keep <02287> (8798) thy solemn feasts <02282>_, perform <07999> (8761) thy vows <05088>_: for the wicked <01100> shall no more <03254> (8686) pass through <05674> (8800) thee; he is utterly cut off <03772> (8738)_. {keep...: Heb. feast} {the wicked: Heb. Belial}
