{Nahum 1:1} The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the
Elkoshite. {Nahum 1:2} God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD
revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his
adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies. {Nahum 1:3} 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. {Nahum 1:4} He rebuketh the sea, and
maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. {Nahum 1:5} 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. {Nahum 1:6} 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. {Nahum 1:7} The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of
trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

{Nahum 1:8} But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

{Nahum 1:9} What do ye imagine against the
LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the
second time. {Nahum 1:10} For while [they be] folden together [as] thorns,
and while they are drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as
stubble fully dry. {Nahum 1:11} There is [one] come out of thee, that
imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor. {Nahum 1:12} Thus saith
the LORD: Though [they be] quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall
they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted
thee, I will afflict thee no more. {Nahum 1:13} For now will I break his yoke
from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. {Nahum 1:14} And the LORD
hath given a commandment concerning thee, [that] no more of thy name be
sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and
the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

{Nahum 1:15}Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

{Nahum 2:1} He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the
munition, watch the way, make [thy] loins strong, fortify [thy] power
mightily. {Nahum 2:2} For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob,
as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out,
and marred their vine branches. {Nahum 2:3} The shield of his mighty men is
made red, the valiant men [are] in scarlet: the chariots [shall be]
with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees
shall be terribly shaken. {Nahum 2:4} The chariots shall rage in the streets,
they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall
seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. {Nahum 2:5} He shall
recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make
haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared. {Nahum 2:6} The
gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
{Nahum 2:7} And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up,
and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of doves, tabering
upon their breasts. {Nahum 2:8} But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water:
yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry;] but none
shall look back. {Nahum 2:9} Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of
gold: for [there is] none end of the store [and] glory out of all the
pleasant furniture. {Nahum 2:10} She is empty, and void, and waste: and the
heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all
loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. {Nahum 2:11} Where [is]
the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions,
where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the lion's whelp,
and none made [them] afraid? {Nahum 2:12} The lion did tear in pieces enough
for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes
with prey, and his dens with ravin. {Nahum 2:13} Behold, I [am] against thee,
saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and
the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey
from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

{Nahum 3:1} Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies [and] robbery;
the prey departeth not; {Nahum 3:2} The noise of a whip, and the noise of the
rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping
chariots. {Nahum 3:3} The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the
glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great
number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they
stumble upon their corpses: {Nahum 3:4} Because of the multitude of the
whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that
selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her
witchcrafts. {Nahum 3:5} Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of
hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew
the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame. {Nahum 3:6} And I will
cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee
as a gazingstock. {Nahum 3:7} And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that
look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste:
who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee? {Nahum 3:8} Art
thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, [that
had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her
wall [was] from the sea? {Nahum 3:9} Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength,
and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers. {Nahum 3:10} Yet [was]
she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were
dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for
her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. {Nahum 3:11}
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek
strength because of the enemy. {Nahum 3:12} All thy strong holds [shall be
like] fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall
even fall into the mouth of the eater. {Nahum 3:13} Behold, thy people in the
midst of thee [are] women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open
unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars. {Nahum 3:14} Draw thee
waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread
the morter, make strong the brickkiln. {Nahum 3:15} There shall the fire
devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like
the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many
as the locusts. {Nahum 3:16} Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the
stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away. {Nahum 3:17} Thy
crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great
grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the
sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they
[are. ]{Nahum 3:18} Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles
shall dwell [in the dust:] thy people is scattered upon the mountains,
and no man gathereth [them. ]{Nahum 3:19} [There is] no healing of thy
bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall
clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed
continually?
