Nahum 1 - Zephaniah 3
English Standard Version
1 (A)An oracle concerning (B)Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.
God's Wrath Against Nineveh
2 (C)The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
(D)the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and (E)keeps wrath for his enemies.
3 (F)The Lord is slow to anger and (G)great in power,
and (H)the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
(I)His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 (J)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
he dries up all the rivers;
(K)Bashan and (L)Carmel wither;
the bloom of (M)Lebanon withers.
5 (N)The mountains quake before him;
(O)the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
(P)the world and all who dwell in it.
6 (Q)Who can stand before his indignation?
Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath (R)is poured out like fire,
and (S)the rocks are broken into pieces by him.
7 (T)The Lord is good,
(U)a stronghold in the day of trouble;
(V)he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 But (W)with an overflowing flood
he will make a complete end of the adversaries,[a]
and (X)will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 What (Y)do you plot against the Lord?
(Z)He will make a complete end;
trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they are (AA)like entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
(AB)they are consumed like stubble fully dried.
11 From you came one
(AC)who plotted evil against the Lord,
a worthless counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord,
“Though they are at full strength and many,
(AD)they will be cut down and pass away.
(AE)Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more.
13 And now (AF)I will break his yoke from off you
and will burst your bonds apart.”
14 The Lord has given commandment about you:
(AG)“No more shall your name be perpetuated;
from (AH)the house of your gods I will cut off
the carved image and the metal image.
(AI)I will make your grave, (AJ)for you are vile.”
15 [b] (AK)Behold, upon the mountains, (AL)the feet of him
who brings good news,
who publishes peace!
(AM)Keep your feasts, O Judah;
(AN)fulfill your vows,
(AO)for never again shall the worthless pass through you;
he is utterly cut off.
The Destruction of Nineveh
2 (AP)The scatterer has come up against you.
(AQ)Man the ramparts;
watch the road;
dress for battle;[c]
collect all your strength.
2 For (AR)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob
as the majesty of Israel,
for plunderers have plundered them
and (AS)ruined their branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is red;
(AT)his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.
4 (AU)The chariots race madly through the streets;
they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches;
they dart like lightning.
5 He remembers (AV)his officers;
(AW)they stumble as they go,
they hasten to the wall;
the siege tower[d] is set up.
6 (AX)The river gates are opened;
the palace (AY)melts away;
7 its mistress[e] is (AZ)stripped;[f] she is carried off,
her slave girls (BA)lamenting,
moaning like doves
and beating their breasts.
8 (BB)Nineveh is like a pool
whose waters run away.[g]
“Halt! Halt!” they cry,
but (BC)none turns back.
9 Plunder the silver,
plunder the gold!
There is no end of the treasure
or of the wealth of all precious things.
10 (BD)Desolate! Desolation and ruin!
(BE)Hearts melt and (BF)knees tremble;
(BG)anguish is in all loins;
(BH)all faces grow pale!
11 Where is the lions' den,
the feeding place of (BI)the young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with (BJ)none to disturb?
12 (BK)The lion tore enough for his cubs
and (BL)strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.
13 (BM)Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and (BN)I will burn your[h] chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and (BO)the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
Woe to Nineveh
3 Woe to (BP)the bloody city,
all full of lies and plunder—
(BQ)no end to the prey!
2 The crack of the whip, and (BR)rumble of the wheel,
(BS)galloping horse and (BT)bounding chariot!
3 Horsemen charging,
flashing sword and (BU)glittering spear,
(BV)hosts of slain,
heaps of corpses,
dead bodies without end—
they stumble over the bodies!
4 And all for the countless whorings of the (BW)prostitute,
(BX)graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her whorings,
and peoples with her charms.
5 (BY)Behold, I am against you,
declares the Lord of hosts,
and (BZ)will lift up your skirts over your face;
and I will make nations look at (CA)your nakedness
and kingdoms at your shame.
6 I will throw filth at you
and (CB)treat you with contempt
and make you (CC)a spectacle.
7 And all who look at you (CD)will shrink from you and say,
“Wasted is (CE)Nineveh; (CF)who will grieve for her?”
(CG)Where shall I seek comforters for you?
8 (CH)Are you better than (CI)Thebes[i]
that sat (CJ)by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
and water her wall?
9 (CK)Cush was her strength;
Egypt too, and that without limit;
(CL)Put and the (CM)Libyans were her[j] helpers.
10 (CN)Yet she became an exile;
she went into captivity;
(CO)her infants were dashed in pieces
at the head of every street;
for her honored men (CP)lots were cast,
(CQ)and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 (CR)You also will be drunken;
you will go into hiding;
(CS)you will seek a refuge from the enemy.
12 All your fortresses are (CT)like fig trees
with first-ripe figs—
if shaken they fall
into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, your troops
(CU)are women in your midst.
The gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire has devoured your bars.
14 (CV)Draw water for the siege;
(CW)strengthen your forts;
go into the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!
15 There will the fire devour you;
the sword will cut you off.
It will (CX)devour you (CY)like the locust.
Multiply yourselves (CZ)like the locust;
multiply (DA)like the grasshopper!
16 You increased (DB)your merchants
more than the stars of the heavens.
(DC)The locust spreads its wings and flies away.
17 Your (DD)princes are (DE)like grasshoppers,
(DF)your scribes[k] like clouds of locusts
settling on the fences
in a day of cold—
when the sun rises, they fly away;
no one knows where they are.
18 Your shepherds (DG)are asleep,
O king of Assyria;
(DH)your nobles slumber.
Your people (DI)are scattered on the mountains
with none to gather them.
19 There is no easing your hurt;
(DJ)your wound is grievous.
All who hear the news about you
(DK)clap their hands over you.
For (DL)upon whom has not come
your unceasing evil?
1 (DM)The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Habakkuk's Complaint
2 O Lord, (DN)how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you (DO)“Violence!”
and you will not save?
3 (DP)Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction (DQ)and violence are before me;
strife and contention arise.
4 (DR)So the law is paralyzed,
and justice never goes forth.
(DS)For the wicked surround the righteous;
so justice goes forth perverted.
The Lord's Answer
5 (DT)“Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
(DU)For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
6 For behold, (DV)I am raising up the Chaldeans,
that bitter and hasty nation,
(DW)who march through the breadth of the earth,
(DX)to seize dwellings not their own.
7 They are dreaded and fearsome;
(DY)their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.
8 (DZ)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
more fierce than (EA)the evening wolves;
their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
(EB)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
9 They all come (EC)for violence,
all their faces forward.
They gather captives (ED)like sand.
10 At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
(EE)They laugh at every fortress,
for (EF)they pile up earth and take it.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on,
(EG)guilty men, (EH)whose own might is their god!”
Habakkuk's Second Complaint
12 Are you not (EI)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
(EJ)We shall not die.
O Lord, (EK)you have ordained them as a judgment,
and you, O (EL)Rock, have established them for reproof.
13 You who are (EM)of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
(EN)why do you idly look at traitors
and (EO)remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
14 You make mankind like the fish of the sea,
like crawling things that have no ruler.
15 (EP)He[l] brings all of them up (EQ)with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
16 (ER)Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,[m]
and his food is rich.
17 Is he then to keep on emptying his net
(ES)and mercilessly killing nations forever?
2 I will (ET)take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and (EU)look out to see (EV)what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
The Righteous Shall Live by His Faith
2 And the Lord answered me:
(EW)“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still (EX)the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, (EY)wait for it;
(EZ)it will surely come; it will not delay.
4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but (FA)the righteous shall live by his faith.[n]
5 “Moreover, wine[o] is (FB)a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.[p]
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death (FC)he has never enough.
(FD)He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”
Woe to the Chaldeans
6 Shall not all these (FE)take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
(FF)“Woe to him (FG)who heaps up what is not his own—
for (FH)how long?—
and (FI)loads himself with pledges!”
7 (FJ)Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
8 (FK)Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
(FL)for the blood of man and (FM)violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
9 (FN)“Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
(FO)to (FP)set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10 You have devised shame for your house
(FQ)by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
11 For (FR)the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.
12 (FS)“Woe to him (FT)who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts
that (FU)peoples labor merely for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nothing?
14 (FV)For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of (FW)the glory of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
15 (FX)“Woe to him (FY)who makes his neighbors drink—
you pour out your wrath and make them drunk,
in order to gaze (FZ)at their nakedness!
16 You will have your fill (GA)of shame instead of glory.
(GB)Drink, yourself, and show your uncircumcision!
(GC)The cup in the Lord's right hand
will come around to you,
and (GD)utter shame will come upon your glory!
17 (GE)The violence (GF)done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
as will the destruction of the beasts that terrified them,
(GG)for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
18 (GH)“What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, (GI)a teacher of lies?
For its maker trusts in his own creation
when he makes (GJ)speechless idols!
19 (GK)Woe to him (GL)who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and (GM)there is no breath at all in it.
20 But (GN)the Lord is in his holy temple;
(GO)let all the earth keep silence before him.”
Habakkuk's Prayer
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, (GP)I have heard the report of you,
and (GQ)your work, O Lord, do I fear.
In the midst of the years (GR)revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
(GS)in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from (GT)Teman,
(GU)and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah
His splendor covered the heavens,
and the earth was full of his praise.
4 (GV)His brightness was like the light;
rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
5 (GW)Before him went pestilence,
and plague followed (GX)at his heels.[q]
6 He stood (GY)and measured the earth;
he looked and shook the nations;
then the (GZ)eternal mountains (HA)were scattered;
the everlasting hills sank low.
His were (HB)the everlasting ways.
7 I saw the tents of (HC)Cushan in affliction;
(HD)the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 (HE)Was your wrath against the rivers, O Lord?
Was your anger against the rivers,
(HF)or your indignation against the sea,
(HG)when you rode on your horses,
(HH)on your chariot of salvation?
9 You stripped the sheath from your bow,
calling for many arrows.[r] Selah
(HI)You split the earth with rivers.
10 (HJ)The mountains saw you and writhed;
the raging waters swept on;
(HK)the deep gave forth its voice;
(HL)it lifted its hands on high.
11 (HM)The sun and moon stood still in their place
(HN)at the light of your arrows as they sped,
at the flash of your glittering spear.
12 (HO)You marched through the earth in fury;
(HP)you threshed the nations in anger.
13 (HQ)You went out for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of (HR)your anointed.
(HS)You crushed the head of the house of the wicked,
laying him bare from thigh to neck.[s] Selah
14 You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,
who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
15 (HT)You trampled the sea with your horses,
the surging of mighty waters.
16 (HU)I hear, and (HV)my body trembles;
my lips quiver at the sound;
(HW)rottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet (HX)I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
to come upon people who invade us.
Habakkuk Rejoices in the Lord
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 (HY)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
(HZ)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
19 God, the Lord, is my strength;
(IA)he makes my feet like the deer's;
he makes me (IB)tread on my (IC)high places.
1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, (IF)in the days of (IG)Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
The Coming Judgment on Judah
2 (IH)“I will utterly sweep away everything
from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
3 “I will sweep away (II)man and beast;
I will sweep away the birds of the heavens
and (IJ)the fish of the sea,
and (IK)the rubble[u] with the wicked.
I will (IL)cut off mankind
from the face of the earth,” declares the Lord.
4 “I will stretch out my hand against Judah
and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
(IM)and I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal
and the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,
5 (IN)those who bow down on the roofs
to the host of the heavens,
(IO)those who bow down and swear to the Lord
and yet swear by (IP)Milcom,[v]
6 (IQ)those who have turned back from following the Lord,
(IR)who do not seek the Lord or inquire of him.”
The Day of the Lord Is Near
7 (IS)Be silent before the Lord God!
For (IT)the day of the Lord is near;
(IU)the Lord has prepared a sacrifice
and (IV)consecrated his guests.
8 And on the day of the Lord's sacrifice—
(IW)“I will punish the officials and the king's sons
and (IX)all who array themselves in foreign attire.
9 On that day I will punish
everyone (IY)who leaps over the threshold,
and those who fill their master's[w] house
with violence and fraud.
10 “On that day,” declares the Lord,
“a cry will be heard from (IZ)the Fish Gate,
(JA)a wail from (JB)the Second Quarter,
a loud crash from the hills.
11 (JC)Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!
For all the traders[x] are no more;
all who weigh out silver are cut off.
12 At that time (JD)I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the men
(JE)who are complacent,[y]
(JF)those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
nor will he do ill.’
13 Their goods shall be (JG)plundered,
and their houses laid waste.
(JH)Though they build houses,
they shall not inhabit them;
(JI)though they plant vineyards,
they shall not drink wine from them.”
14 (JJ)The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter;
(JK)the mighty man cries aloud there.
15 (JL)A day of wrath is that day,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of (JM)ruin and devastation,
(JN)a day of darkness and gloom,
(JO)a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 (JP)a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
(JQ)against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.
17 (JR)I will bring distress on mankind,
so that they shall walk (JS)like the blind,
because they have sinned against the Lord;
(JT)their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh (JU)like dung.
18 (JV)Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the Lord.
(JW)In the fire of his jealousy,
(JX)all the earth shall be consumed;
(JY)for a full and sudden end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Judgment on Judah's Enemies
2 Gather together, yes, gather,
O (JZ)shameless nation,
2 (KA)before the decree takes effect[z]
—before the day passes away (KB)like chaff—
(KC)before there comes upon you
the burning anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 (KD)Seek the Lord, (KE)all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;[aa]
(KF)seek righteousness; seek humility;
(KG)perhaps (KH)you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
4 (KI)For Gaza shall be deserted,
and Ashkelon shall become a desolation;
Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon,
and Ekron shall be uprooted.
5 Woe to (KJ)you inhabitants of the seacoast,
you nation of (KK)the Cherethites!
(KL)The word of the Lord is against you,
(KM)O Canaan, land of the Philistines;
and I will destroy you (KN)until no inhabitant is left.
6 (KO)And you, O seacoast, (KP)shall be pastures,
with meadows[ab] for shepherds
and folds for flocks.
7 (KQ)The seacoast shall become the possession
of (KR)the remnant of the house of Judah,
(KS)on which they shall graze,
and in the houses of Ashkelon
they shall lie down at evening.
For the Lord their God (KT)will be mindful of them
and (KU)restore their fortunes.
8 “I have heard (KV)the taunts of Moab
and (KW)the revilings of the Ammonites,
how they have taunted my people
and made boasts (KX)against their territory.
9 Therefore, (KY)as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
“Moab shall become (KZ)like Sodom,
and the Ammonites (LA)like Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
10 This shall be their lot in return (LB)for their pride,
because they taunted and boasted
against the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 The Lord will be awesome against them;
(LC)for he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and (LD)to him shall bow down,
each in its place,
all (LE)the lands of the nations.
12 (LF)You also, O Cushites,
shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north
(LG)and destroy Assyria,
and he (LH)will make Nineveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.
14 (LI)Herds shall lie down in her midst,
all kinds of beasts;[ac]
(LJ)even the owl and the hedgehog[ad]
shall lodge in her capitals;
a voice shall hoot in the window;
devastation will be on the threshold;
for (LK)her cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the exultant city
(LL)that lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
(LM)a lair for wild beasts!
(LN)Everyone who passes by her
hisses and (LO)shakes his fist.
Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations
3 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
(LP)the oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice;
(LQ)she accepts no correction.
(LR)She does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3 (LS)Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are (LT)evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 (LU)Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
(LV)her priests (LW)profane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
5 The Lord within her (LX)is righteous;
he does no injustice;
every morning he shows forth his justice;
each dawn he does not fail;
but (LY)the unjust knows no shame.
6 (LZ)“I have cut off nations;
their battlements are in ruins;
I have laid waste their streets
(MA)so that no one walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
without a man, without an inhabitant.
7 (MB)I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
(MC)you will accept correction.
Then your[ae] dwelling would not be cut off
according to all that I have appointed against you.’[af]
But (MD)all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
8 “Therefore (ME)wait for me,” declares the Lord,
“for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.
For my decision is (MF)to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
all my burning anger;
for in the fire of my jealousy
(MG)all the earth shall be consumed.
The Conversion of the Nations
9 “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples
to (MH)a pure speech,
that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord
and serve him with one accord.
10 (MI)From beyond the rivers (MJ)of Cush
my worshipers, the daughter of my dispersed ones,
shall bring my offering.
11 (MK)“On that day (ML)you shall not be put to shame
because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me;
for then (MM)I will remove from your midst
your proudly exultant ones,
and (MN)you shall no longer be haughty
in my holy mountain.
12 But I will leave in your midst
a people (MO)humble and lowly.
(MP)They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord,
13 (MQ)those who are left in Israel;
they (MR)shall do no injustice
and speak no lies,
(MS)nor shall there be found in their mouth
a deceitful tongue.
(MT)For they shall graze and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid.”
Israel's Joy and Restoration
14 (MU)Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
he has cleared away your enemies.
(MV)The King of Israel, (MW)the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall never again fear evil.
16 (MX)On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Fear not, O Zion;
(MY)let not your hands grow weak.
17 (MZ)The Lord your God is in your midst,
(NA)a mighty one who will save;
(NB)he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
18 I will gather those of you who mourn (NC)for the festival,
so that you will no longer suffer reproach.[ag]
19 Behold, at that time (ND)I will deal
with all your oppressors.
And (NE)I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change (NF)their shame into (NG)praise
and renown in all the earth.
20 (NH)At that time I will bring you in,
at the time when I gather you together;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
(NI)when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes,” says the Lord.
