Nahum 1:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² A ^(A)jealous and avenging God is the Lord;
The Lord is ^(B)avenging and ^[a]wrathful.
The Lord takes ^(C)vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies.
³ The Lord is ^(D)slow to anger and great in power,
And the Lord will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
In ^(E)whirlwind and storm is His way,
And ^(F)clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
⁴ He ^(G)rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
He dries up all the rivers.
^(H)Bashan and Carmel wither;
The blossoms of Lebanon wither.
