God is angry with Nineveh
1 Nahum lives in Elkosh and this is his prophecy about the people in Nineveh.[a]
2 God is angry with the people in Nineveh. The Lord loves his people.[b] But he is very angry with his enemies. He is so angry with them that he must punish them. He will be angry until he has killed his enemies.

- 1:1 Elkosh is a town in Judah.
- 1:2 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
