Nahum 1:2-6
New King James Version
God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is (A)jealous, and the Lord avenges;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is (B)slow to anger and (C)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
(D)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 (E)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(F)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [a]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And (G)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
