Berean Standard Bible
The burden of
Nineveh .
The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite .
This
is
the burden against
Nineveh ,
the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite :
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.
The
LORD
is a
jealous and avenging
God
; the LORD is avenging
and
full
of
wrath.
The LORD takes
vengeance on His foes
and reserves
wrath for His enemies.
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.
The LORD is slow to anger and great in power ;
the LORD will
by
no
means
leave
the
guilty
unpunished.
His path
is
in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath
His feet.
He rebuketh
the sea ,
and maketh
it dry,
and
drieth
up all the rivers :
Bashan languisheth,
and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth
.
He rebukes
the sea and dries
it up ;
He
makes
all the rivers run
dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither
, and the flower of Lebanon wilts
.
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
.
The mountains quake before
Him, and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles
at His presence —
the world and all its
dwellers
.
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.
Who can withstand
His indignation? Who can endure
His burning
anger? His wrath
is poured out like fire ;
even
rocks are shattered
before
Him.
The LORD is good, a strong
hold
in the day of trouble
; and
he knoweth
them
that
trust in him.
The LORD is good, a stronghold
in the day of distress
; He cares
for
those
who
trust in Him.
But with an overrunning
flood he will make an utter
end of the
place
thereof,
and darkness
shall
pursue his enemies.
But with an overwhelming
flood He will make an end of Nineveh
and pursue His enemies into
darkness
.
What
do
ye
imagine
against the LORD ?
he will make
an utter
end :
affliction shall
not rise up the
second time.
Whatever
you
plot
against the LORD ,
He will bring
to
an end .
Affliction will
not rise up a
second time.
For while
they be folden
together
as thorns ,
and while
they
are
drunken
as
drunkards,
they
shall
be
devoured
as
stubble fully dry.
For they will
be entangled
as with
thorns and consumed
like
the
drink
of
a
drunkard—
like
stubble that
is
fully dry.
There
is
one
come
out
of
thee
, that
imagineth
evil against the LORD, a wicked
counsellor
.
From
you
, O
Nineveh,
comes
forth
a
plotter
of
evil against the LORD, a counselor
of
wickedness
.
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
.
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
Though they are
allied
and numerous
, yet they will
be cut down and
pass away
. Though I have afflicted you
, O
Judah,
I will afflict you
no longer
.
For now
will
I break his
yoke from off
thee,
and will
burst
thy
bonds
in
sunder
.
For I will
now
break their
yoke from your
neck
and tear
away
your
shackles
. ”
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
.
The LORD has
issued
a command
concerning you
, O
Nineveh
: “There
will be
no
descendants
to
carry
on
your
name.
I will
cut off the carved
image and cast
idol
from
the house
of
your
gods;
I will prepare
your
grave ,
for you
are
contemptible
. ”
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.
Look
to
the mountains —
the feet of one
who
brings
good news
, who
proclaims
peace! Celebrate
your
feasts, O
Judah;
fulfill
your
vows .
For the wicked will
never
again
march
through you
; they
will
be
utterly cut off.
