(1:2) "God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth ... and is furious;
the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. Does God ever get furious?
(1:3b-6) Whirlwinds, tornadoes, earthquakes, and fires are caused by God and are signs of his anger. He
dries up oceans and rivers, melts mountains, and throws stones. "The clouds are the dust of his feet."
(1:3b) "The LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet."
(1:4) "He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers."
(1:5-6) "The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence ... and the rocks are thrown
down by him."
(1:8-10) God doesn't just get even. He drowns or burns to death his enemies.
(1:8) "With an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies."
(1:10) "While they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry."
1:1
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
1:2God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries,
and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
1:3The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit
the wicked:the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of his feet.
1:4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers:
Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
1:5The mountains quake at
him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the
world, and all that dwell therein.
1:6
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown
down by him.
1:7The LORD is good, a strong hold
in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them
that trust in him.
1:8
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
1:9
What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction
shall not rise up the second time.
1:10
For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as
drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
1:11
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
1:12
Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted
thee, I will afflict thee no more.
1:13
For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in
sunder.
1:14
And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy
name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image
and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
1:15
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the
wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
