Nahum 1:2-4

Modern English Version

² The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
    the Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord takes vengeance on His enemies,
    and He reserves it for His adversaries;
³ the Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
    and the Lord will in no way acquit the guilty.
In gale winds and a storm is His way,
    and clouds are the dust of His feet.
⁴ He rebukes and dries up the sea,
    and He makes waterless all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither up,
    and the sprout of Lebanon wastes away.
