The Lord is (A)slow to anger and (B)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.

(C)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
(D)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(E)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
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.

Who can stand before His indignation?
And (F)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.

(G)The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And (H)He knows those who trust in Him.
But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,
And darkness will pursue His enemies.

  1. Nahum 1:5 Tg. burns

Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him. Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him. But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
