New King James Version

Nahum 1:4-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

4. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,And dries up all the rivers.Bashan and Carmel wither,And the flower of Lebanon wilts.

5. The mountains quake before Him,The hills melt,And the earth heaves at His presence,Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.

6. Who can stand before His indignation?And who can endure 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 stronghold in the day of trouble;And He knows those who trust in Him.

8. But with an overflowing floodHe will make an utter end of its place,And darkness will pursue His enemies.

9. What do you conspire against the Lord?He will make an utter end of it.Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10. For while tangled like thorns,And while drunken like drunkards,They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.

11. From you comes forth oneWho plots evil against the Lord,A wicked counselor.
