Nahum 1:3-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 The Lord is slow to anger, yet great in power.
The Lord will certainly not let the guilty go unpunished.
He marches out in the whirlwind and in the storm.
Storm clouds are like dust stirred up by his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry up.
He makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel are completely withered.
The buds of Lebanon are completely withered.
5 The mountains quake in front of him.
The hills melt away.
The earth in front of him rises up,
the whole world and all who live in it.
6 Who can withstand his anger?
Who can resist his fury?
His rage is poured out like fire,
and the rocks are torn down by him.
7 The Lord is good.
He is a place of safety in the day of distress.
He knows those who seek safety in him,
8 but he will bring this place to a complete end by an overwhelming flood.
He will drive 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.
