Nachum 1:6-8

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁶Who can stand before Hashem’s fury? And who can endure His charon af (burning anger, see Ro 1:18)? His chemah (wrath) is poured out like eish (fire) and the tzurim (rocks) are rent in pieces before Him.

⁷Hashem is tov, a maoz (stronghold) in the Yom Tzarah; and Hashem knoweth them that take refuge in Him.

⁸But with an overwhelming flood He will make an utter end of her [Nineveh’s] site, and Hashem shall pursue His enemies into choshech.

⁶Who can stand before His indignation?
And ^(A)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?

And darkness will pursue His enemies.
