| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1A pronouncement about Nineveh: The record of the vision of Nahum from Elkosh. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2A jealous God, the LORD avenges. The LORD avenges; The Lord is an angry husband. The LORD takes vengeance on his enemies, reserving anger for his adversaries. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3The LORD is slow to anger and powerful, and he will never let the guilty go unpunished. The LORD's path is in the windstorm and hurricane; thunderclouds are dust beneath his feet. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He rebukes the sea, and it evaporates; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, while the flowers of Lebanon languish. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Mountains shake because of him, and the hills melt. The earth goes into upheaval at his presence, as does the world with all of its inhabitants. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Who can stand before his fury? And who can endure his fierce anger? His displeasure pours out like fire, and rocks are broken to pieces because of him. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The LORD is good— a refuge in troubled times. He knows those who are confiding in him. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8But with an overwhelming deluge he will bring utter desolation to Nineveh, and his enemies he will pursue with darkness. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9What are you scheming against the LORD? He will bring about utter desolation— adversity will not strike twice! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Indeed, while tangled as by a thorn bush, while drunken as by a strong drink, the Ninevites will be burned like dry straw. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Someone has left you who plans evil against the LORD. He is a demonic counselor. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12This is what the LORD says: "No matter how strong they are, and no matter how numerous, they will surely be annihilated and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will do so no more. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now I will break off Assyria's yoke from you, and tear apart your shackles." |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Now this is what the Lord has decreed about you, Nineveh: "There will be no more children born to carry on your name. I will cut out the graven and molten images from the temples of your gods. I myself will dig your grave, because you are vile." |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15 Look! There on the mountains! The feet of the one who brings good news, who broadcasts a message of peace. Judah, celebrate your solemn festivals and keep your vows, because the wicked will never again invade you. Nineveh will be completely eliminated! |
