## Yahweh's Wrath Against Nineveh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
The oracle of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
A jealous and avenging God is Yahweh; Yahweh is avenging and wrathful. Yahweh is avenging against His adversaries, And He keeps _His anger_ for His enemies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power, And Yahweh will by no means leave _the guilty_ unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish; The blossoms of Lebanon languish.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Mountains quake because of Him, And the hills melt; Indeed the earth is upheaved by His presence, The world and all the inhabitants in it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, And the rocks are torn down by Him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Yahweh is good, A strong defense in the day of distress, And He knows those who take refuge in Him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete destruction of its place And will pursue His enemies into darkness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Whatever you devise against Yahweh, He will make a complete destruction of it. Distress will not rise up twice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble fully dried up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
From you has gone forth One who devised evil against Yahweh, A vile counselor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Thus says Yahweh, "Though they are at full _strength_ and likewise many, Even so, they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you, And I will break your bands apart."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
And Yahweh has commanded concerning you: "There will no longer be seed from your name. From the house of your gods, I will cut off graven image and molten image. I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who proclaims good news, Who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the vile one pass through you; He is cut off completely.
