Nahum 1:5-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. The mountains quake because of him;the hills melt away.The earth heaves before him—the world and all who dwell in it.

6. Who can stand before his indignation?Who can confront the heat of his fury?His wrath pours out like fire;the rocks are shattered because of him.

7. The Lord is good,a haven in a day of distress.He acknowledges those who take refuge in him.

8. With a rushing flood, he will utterly destroy her placeand pursue his enemies into darkness.

9. What are you plotting against the Lord?He is one who can annihilate!Distress will not arise twice.
