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 :
A God
zealous
and avenging `is'
Jehovah,
An
avenger
`
is '
Jehovah,
and possessing
fury
. An
avenger
`is'
Jehovah
on His adversaries,
And He
is
watching
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.
Jehovah
`
is '
slow to anger ,
and great in power ,
And
Jehovah
doth
not
entirely
acquit,
In a
hurricane
and in
a
tempest
`is'
His
way
, And a
cloud
`is'
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 is
pushing
against
a
sea ,
and drieth
it up ,
Yea,
all the floods
He
hath
made
dry ,
Languishing
`are'
Bashan and Carmel ,
Yea
, the flower of Lebanon `is'
languishing
.
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
.
Mountains have
shaken
because
of
Him, And the hills have
been
melted
; And
lifted
up
`is'
the earth at His presence ,
And
the world and all dwelling
in
it
.
The
mountains quake
before
Him, and the hills melt
away
; the earth trembles
at His presence —
the world and all its
dwellers
.
Before
His indignation who
doth
stand
? And
who riseth
up
in
the
heat
of
His anger? His fury
hath
been
poured out like fire ,
And
the
rocks have
been
broken
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.
Good
`
is '
Jehovah
for
a strong
place
in a
day of distress .
And
He knoweth
those trusting
in Him.
The
LORD
is good,
a stronghold
in the
day of distress ;
He cares
for
those who
trust
in Him.
And
with a
flood passing
over,
An end He
maketh
of its
place,
And His enemies doth
darkness pursue
.
But
with an
overwhelming
flood He
will
make
an end of Nineveh
and pursue
His enemies into
darkness.
What
do
we
devise
against Jehovah?
An end He
is
making,
arise
not twice
doth
distress
.
Whatever
you
plot
against the
LORD,
He
will
bring
to
an end .
Affliction
will
not rise
up
a
second
time
.
For while
princes
`are'
perplexed,
And
with
their
drink
are
drunken,
They have
been
consumed
as stubble fully dried
.
For they will
be
entangled
as with
thorns
and
consumed
like
the
drink
of
a
drunkard—
like
stubble that
is
fully dry
.
From thee
hath
come
forth a deviser
of evil Against Jehovah
--
a worthless
counsellor
.
From you,
O
Nineveh,
comes
forth a plotter
of evil against the
LORD,
a counselor
of
wickedness
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
: Though complete,
and thus
many
, Yet thus
they have
been
cut off,
And he
hath
passed
away. And
I afflicted thee
, I 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
.
And
now
I break his
rod
from off
thee,
And thy
bands
I
do
draw
away.
For
I will
now
break their
yoke
from your
neck
and tear
away your
shackles
. ”
And
commanded
concerning thee
hath
Jehovah
, `
No more
of
thy
name doth
spread
abroad,
From the house of thy
gods I
cut
off
graven
and
molten
image,
I appoint
thy
grave, for thou
hast
been
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
. ”
Lo,
on
the mountains the feet of one proclaiming
tidings
, sounding
peace! Celebrate, O Judah ,
thy
festivals,
complete
thy
vows ,
For add
no
more
to
pass
over
into
thee
doth
the worthless,
He
hath
been
completely
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 .
