Nahum 1:2-3
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.

94 O Lord God, (A)to whom vengeance belongs—
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O (B)Judge of the earth;
[a]Render punishment to the proud.
3 Lord, (C)how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
