1. Oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.
2. A jealous and avenging God is the Lord,an avenger is the Lord, full of wrath;The Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries,and rages against his enemies;
3. The Lord is slow to anger, yet great in power;the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.In stormwind and tempest he comes,and clouds are the dust at his feet;
4. He roars at the sea and leaves it dry,and all the rivers he dries up.Laid low are Bashan and Carmel,and the bloom of Lebanon withers;
5. The mountains quake before him,and the hills dissolve;The earth is laid waste before him,the world and all who dwell in it.
