Scofield Reference Notes

[2] God is jealous

The great ethical lesson of Nahum is that the character of God makes Him not only "slow to anger," and "a stronghold to them that trust Him," but also one who "will not at all acquit the wicked." He can be "just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus" Rom 3:26 but only because His holy law has been vindicated in the cross.
