Nahum 1:3-8
Authorized (King James) Version
3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power,
and will not at all acquit the wicked:
the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry,
and drieth up all the rivers:
Bashan languisheth, and Carmel,
and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt,
and the earth is burned at his presence,
yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation?
and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger?
his fury is poured out like fire,
and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof,
and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
Nahum 1:3-8
New King James Version
(C)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 (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.
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 (F)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
7 (G)The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And (H)He knows those who trust in Him.
8 But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,
And darkness will pursue His enemies.
