Nahum 1:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ Who can stand the heat
    of his furious anger?
It flashes out like fire
    and shatters stones.

⁷ The Lord is good.
He protects those who trust him
    in times of trouble.
⁸ But like a roaring flood,
the Lord chases his enemies
    into dark places
    and destroys them.^[a]
