Nahum Chapter 1 (NIV 11)

Compare with Version:

Introduction

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 LORD he will bring[1] 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.[2]

¹¹ From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the LORD and 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.[3]
