World English Bible Classic
[1] A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. [2] Yahweh§ is a jealous God§ and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies. [3] Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. [4] He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes. [5] The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it. [6] Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him. [7] Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him. [8] But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. [9] What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time. [10] For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble. [11] One has gone out of you who devises evil against Yahweh, who counsels wickedness. [12] Yahweh says: “Though they are in full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. [13] Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.” [14] Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.” [15] Behold,§ on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

The Wrath of God

[2] God H410 is jealous, H7072 and the Lord H3068 revengeth; H5358 (QalActPtc) the Lord H3068 revengeth, H5358 (QalActPtc) and is furious;§ H1167 the Lord H3068 will take vengeance H5358 (QalActPtc) on his adversaries, H6862 and he reserveth H5201 (QalActPtc) wrath for his enemies. H341 (QalActPtc) [3] The Lord H3068 is slow H750 to anger, H639 and great H1419 in power, H3581 and will not at all H5352 (PielInf) acquit H5352 (PielImpf) the wicked: the Lord H3068 hath his way H1870 in the whirlwind H5492 and in the storm, H8183 and the clouds H6051 are the dust H80 of his feet. H7272 [4] He rebuketh H1605 (QalActPtc) the sea, H3220 and maketh it dry, H2717 (HiphPerf) and drieth up H3001 (PielImpf) all the rivers: H5104 Bashan H1316 languisheth, H535 (PulaPerf) and Carmel, H3760 and the flower H6525 of Lebanon H3844 languisheth. H535 (PulaPerf) [5] The mountains H2022 quake H7493 (QalPerf) at him, and the hills H1389 melt, H4127 (HiplPerf) and the earth H776 is burned H5375 (QalImpf) at his presence, H6440 yea, the world, H8398 and all that dwell H3427 (QalActPtc) therein. [6] Who can stand H5975 (QalImpf) before H6440 his indignation? H2195 and who can abide H6965 (QalImpf)§ in the fierceness H2740 of his anger? H639 his fury H2534 is poured out H5413 (NiphPerf) like fire, H784 and the rocks H6697 are thrown down H5422 (NiphPerf) by him. [7] The Lord H3068 is good, H2896 a strong hold H4581§ in the day H3117 of trouble; H6869 and he knoweth H3045 (QalActPtc) them that trust H2620 (QalActPtc) in him. [8] But with an overrunning H5674 (QalActPtc) flood H7858 he will make H6213 (QalImpf) an utter end H3617 of the place H4725 thereof, and darkness H2822 shall pursue H7291 (PielImpf) his enemies. H341 (QalActPtc) [9] What do ye imagine H2803 (PielImpf) against the Lord? H3068 he will make H6213 (QalActPtc) an utter end: H3617 affliction H6869 shall not rise up H6965 (QalImpf) the second time. H6471 [10] For while they be folden together H5440 (QalPasPtc) as thorns, H5518 and while they are drunken H5433 (QalPasPtc) as drunkards, H5435 they shall be devoured H398 (PualPerf) as stubble H7179 fully H4392 dry. H3002 [11] There is one come out H3318 (QalPerf) of thee, that imagineth H2803 (QalActPtc) evil H7451 against the Lord, H3068 a wicked H1100 counsellor. H3289 (QalActPtc) [12] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Though they be quiet, H8003 and likewise many, H7227 yet thus shall they be cut down, H1494 (NiphPerf)§ when he shall pass through. H5674 (QalPerf) Though I have afflicted H6031 (PielPerf) thee, I will afflict H6031 (PielImpf) thee no more. [13] For now will I break H7665 (QalImpf) his yoke H4132 from off thee, and will burst H5423 thy bonds H4147 in sunder. H5423 (PielImpf) [14] And the Lord H3068 hath given a commandment H6680 (PielPerf) concerning thee, that no more of thy name H8034 be sown: H2232 (NiphImpf) out of the house H1004 of thy gods H430 will I cut off H3772 (HiphImpf) the graven image H6459 and the molten image: H4541 I will make H7760 (QalImpf) thy grave; H6913 for thou art vile. H7043 (QalPerf) [15] Behold upon the mountains H2022 the feet H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings, H1319 (PielPtc) that publisheth H8085 (HiphPtc) peace! H7965 O Judah, H3063 keep H2287 (QalImpv)§ thy solemn feasts, H2282 perform H7999 (PielImpv) thy vows: H5088 for the wicked H1100§ shall no more H3254 (HiphImpf) pass through H5674 (QalInf) thee; he is utterly cut off. H3772 (NiphPerf)
