Nahum 1:3-8
Christian Standard Bible
3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.(A)
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,(B)
and clouds are the dust beneath his feet.(C)
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up,
and he makes all the rivers run dry.(D)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(E)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains quake before him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[a][b] at his presence—
the world and all who live in it.(F)
6 Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his burning anger?(G)
His wrath is poured out like fire;(H)
even rocks are shattered before him.
Destruction of Nineveh
7 The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
he cares for those who take refuge(I) in him.
8 But he will completely destroy Nineveh[c]
with an overwhelming flood,(J)
and he will chase his enemies into darkness.
Nahum 1:3-8
Lexham English Bible
3 Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power;
he will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished.
He marches[a] in storm wind and in gale;
storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither;[b]
the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
5 Mountains quake before him;
the hills shake apart.[c]
The earth heaves before him—
the world and all her inhabitants.
6 His indignation—who can stand before it?
Who can endure his fierce anger?[d]
His wrath is poured out like fire;
rocks are shattered before[e] him.
7 Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress;
he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end;
he will chase his enemies into darkness.
