Nahum 1:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² The Lord is a jealous God who gives punishment.
    The Lord punishes wicked people and is filled with anger.
The Lord punishes those who are against him.
    He stays angry with his enemies.
³ The Lord does not become angry quickly.
    His power is great.
    The Lord will not let the guilty go unpunished.
Where the Lord goes, whirlwinds and storms show his power.
    The clouds are the dust that his feet kick up.
⁴ The Lord speaks to the sea and makes it dry.
    He dries up all the rivers.
The areas of Bashan and Carmel dry up.
    And the flowers of Lebanon die.
