Nahum 1
1. The burden <04853> of Nineveh <05210>. The book <05612> of
the vision <02377> of Nahum <05151> the Elkoshite <0512>.
2. God <0410> [is] jealous <07072>, and the LORD <03068>
revengeth <05358>; the LORD <03068> revengeth <05358>, and [is]
furious; the LORD <03068> will take vengeance <05358> on his
adversaries <06862>, and he reserveth <05201> [wrath] for his
enemies <0341>.
3 The LORD <03068> [is] slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and great
<01431> in power <03581>, and will not at all acquit <05352>
[the wicked <07563>]: the LORD <03068> hath his way <01870> in
the whirlwind <05492> and in the storm <08183>, and the clouds
<06051> [are] the dust <080> of his feet <07272>.
4 He rebuketh <01605> the sea <03220>, and maketh it dry
<03001>, and drieth <03001> up all <03605> the rivers <05104>:
Bashan <01316> languisheth <0535>, and Carmel <03760>, and the
flower <06525> of Lebanon <03844> languisheth <0535>.
5 The mountains <02022> quake <07493> at him, and the hills
<01389> melt <04127>, and the earth <0776> is burned <05375> at
his presence <06440>, yea, the world <08398>, and all <03605>
that dwell <03427> therein.
6 Who <04310> can stand <05975> before <06440> his indignation
<02195>? and who <04310> can abide <06965> in the fierceness
<02740> of his anger <0639>? his fury <02534> is poured <05413>
out like fire <0784>, and the rocks <06697> are thrown <05422>
down <05422> by him.
7 The LORD <03068> [is] good <02896>, a strong <04581> hold
<04581> in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>; and he knoweth
<03045> them that trust <02620> in him.
8 But with an overrunning <05674> flood <07858> he will make
<06213> an utter <03617> end <03615> of the place <04725>
thereof, and darkness <02822> shall pursue <07291> his enemies
<0341>.
9. What <04100> do ye imagine <02803> against <0413> the LORD
<03068>? he will make <06213> an utter <03617> end <03615>:
affliction <06869> shall not rise <06965> up the second time
<06471>.
10 For while <05704> [they be] folden <05440> together [as]
thorns <05518>, and while they are drunken <05435> [as]
drunkards <05435>, they shall be devoured <0398> as stubble
<07179> fully <04390> dry <03002>.
11 There is [one] come <03318> out of thee, that imagineth
<02803> evil <07451> against <05921> the LORD <03068>, a wicked
<01100> counsellor <03289>.
12 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068>; Though <0518>
[they be] quiet <08003>, and likewise <03651> many <07227>, yet
thus <03651> shall they be cut <01494> down, when <03588> he
shall pass <05674> through. Though I have afflicted <06031> thee,
I will afflict <06031> thee no <03808> more <05750>.
13 For now <06258> will I break <07665> his yoke <04132> from
off <05921> thee, and will burst <05423> thy bonds <04147> in
sunder.
14 And the LORD <03068> hath given a commandment <06680>
concerning <05921> thee, [that] no <03808> more <05750> of thy
name <08034> be sown <02232>: out of the house <01004> of thy
gods <0430> will I cut <03772> off the graven <06459> image and
the molten <04541> image: I will make <07760> thy grave <06913>;
for thou art vile <07043>.
15 Behold <02209> upon the mountains <02022> the feet <07272>
of him that bringeth <01319> good <01319> tidings <01319>, that
publisheth <08085> peace <07965>! O Judah <03063>, keep <02287>
thy solemn <02282> feasts <02282>, perform <07999> thy vows
<05088>: for the wicked <01100> shall no <03808> more pass
<05674> through thee; he is utterly <03605> cut <03772> off.
Nahum 2
1. He that dasheth <06327> in pieces is come <05927> up before
<05921> thy face <06440>: keep <05341> the munition <04694>,
watch <06822> the way <01870>, make [thy] loins <04975> strong
<02388>, fortify <0553> [thy] power <03581> mightily <03966>.
2 For the LORD <03068> hath turned <07725> away the excellency
<01347> of Jacob <03290>, as the excellency <01347> of Israel
<03478>: for the emptiers <01238> have emptied <01238> them out,
and marred <07843> their vine <02156> branches <02156>.
3 The shield <04043> of his mighty <01368> men is made red
<0119>, the valiant <02428> men <0582> [are] in scarlet <08529>:
the chariots <07393> [shall be] with flaming <0784> torches
<06393> in the day <03117> of his preparation <03559>, and the
fir <01265> trees shall be terribly shaken <07477>.
4 The chariots <07393> shall rage <01984> in the streets
<02351>, they shall justle <08264> one against another <08264>
in the broad <07339> ways: they shall seem <04758> like torches
<03940>, they shall run <07323> like the lightnings <01300>.
5 He shall recount <02142> his worthies <0117>: they shall
stumble <03782> in their walk <01979>; they shall make haste
<04116> to the wall <02346> thereof, and the defence <05526>
shall be prepared <03559>.
6 The gates <08179> of the rivers <05104> shall be opened
<06605>, and the palace <01964> shall be dissolved <04127>.
7 And Huzzab <05324> shall be led away <01540> captive <01540>,
she shall be brought <05927> up, and her maids <0519> shall lead
<05090> [her] as with the voice <06963> of doves <03123>,
tabering <08608> upon their breasts <03824>.
8 But Nineveh <05210> [is] of old <03117> like a pool <01295>
of water <04325>: yet they shall flee <05127> away. Stand
<05975>, stand <05975>, [shall they cry]; but none <0369> shall
look <06437> back <06437>.
9 Take <0962> ye the spoil <0962> of silver <03701>, take
<0962> the spoil <07997> of gold <02091>: for [there is] none
<0369> end <07097> of the store <08498> [and] glory <03519> out
of all <03605> the pleasant <02532> furniture <03627>.
10 She is empty <0950>, and void <04003>, and waste <01110>:
and the heart <03820> melteth <04549>, and the knees <01290>
smite <06375> together, and much <02479> pain <02479> [is] in
all <03605> loins <04975>, and the faces <06440> of them all
<03605> gather <06908> blackness <06289>.
11. Where <0346> [is] the dwelling <04583> of the lions <0738>,
and the feedingplace <07462> of the young <03715> lions <03715>,
where the lion <0739>, [even] the old lion <03833>, walked
<01980>, [and] the lion's <0738> whelp <01482>, and none <0369>
made [them] afraid <02729>?
12 The lion <0738> did tear <02963> in pieces enough <01767>
for his whelps <01484>, and strangled <02614> for his lionesses
<03833>, and filled <04390> his holes <02356> with prey <02964>,
and his dens <04585> with ravin <02966>.
13 Behold <02205>, I [am] against <0413> thee, saith <05002>
the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will burn <01197> her
chariots <07393> in the smoke <06227>, and the sword <02719>
shall devour <0398> thy young <03715> lions <03715>: and I will
cut <03772> off thy prey <02964> from the earth <0776>, and the
voice <06963> of thy messengers <04397> shall no <03808> more
<05750> be heard <08085>.
Nahum 3
1. Woe <01945> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>! it [is] all
<03605> full <04392> of lies <03585> [and] robbery <06503>; the
prey <02964> departeth <04185> not;
2 The noise <06963> of a whip <07752>, and the noise <06963> of
the rattling <07494> of the wheels <0212>, and of the pransing
<01725> horses <05483>, and of the jumping <07540> chariots
<04818>.
3 The horseman <06571> lifteth <05927> up both the bright
<03851> sword <02719> and the glittering <01300> spear <02595>:
and [there is] a multitude <07230> of slain <02491>, and a great
<03514> number of carcases <06297>; and [there is] none <0369>
end <07097> of [their] corpses <01472>; they stumble <03782>
upon their corpses <01472>:
4 Because of the multitude <07230> of the whoredoms <02183> of
the wellfavoured harlot <02181>, the mistress <01172> of
witchcrafts <03785>, that selleth <04376> nations <01471>
through her whoredoms <02183>, and families <04940> through her
witchcrafts <03785>.
5 Behold <02205>, I [am] against <0413> thee, saith <05002> the
LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; and I will discover <01540> thy
skirts <07757> upon thy face <06440>, and I will shew <07200>
the nations <01471> thy nakedness <04626>, and the kingdoms
<04467> thy shame <07036>.
6 And I will cast <07993> abominable <08251> filth upon thee,
and make thee vile <05034>, and will set <07760> thee as a
gazingstock <07210>.
7 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] all <03605> they
that look <07200> upon thee shall flee <05074> from thee, and
say <0559>, Nineveh <05210> is laid waste <07703>: who <04310>
will bemoan <05110> her? whence <0370> shall I seek <01245>
comforters <05162> for thee?
8. Art thou better <03190> than populous <0527> No, that was
situate <03427> among the rivers <02975>, [that had] the waters
<04325> round <05439> about it, whose <0834> rampart <02426>
[was] the sea <03220>, [and] her wall <02346> [was] from the sea
<03220>?
9 Ethiopia <03568> and Egypt <04714> [were] her strength
<06109>, and [it was] infinite; Put <06316> and Lubim <03864>
were thy helpers <05833>.
10 Yet <01571> [was] she carried <01473> away <01473>, she went
<01980> into captivity <07628>: her young children <05768> also
<01571> were dashed <07376> in pieces at the top <07218> of all
<03605> the streets <02351>: and they cast <03032> lots <01486>
for her honourable <03513> men, and all <03605> her great
<01419> men were bound <07576> in chains <02131>.
11 Thou also <01571> shalt be drunken <07937>: thou shalt be
hid <05956>, thou also <01571> shalt seek <01245> strength
<04581> because of the enemy <0341>.
12 All <03605> thy strong <04013> holds <04013> [shall be like]
fig <08384> trees with the firstripe <01063> figs: if <0518>
they be shaken <05128>, they shall even fall <05307> into
<05921> the mouth <06310> of the eater <0398>.
13 Behold <02009>, thy people <05971> in the midst <07130> of
thee [are] women <0802>: the gates <08179> of thy land <0776>
shall be set wide <06605> open <06605> unto thine enemies <0341>:
the fire <0784> shall devour <0398> thy bars <01280>.
14 Draw <07579> thee waters <04325> for the siege <04692>,
fortify <02388> thy strong <04013> holds <04013>: go <0935> into
clay <02916>, and tread <07429> the morter <02563>, make strong
<02388> the brickkiln <04404>.
15 There <08033> shall the fire <0784> devour <0398> thee; the
sword <02719> shall cut <03772> thee off, it shall eat <0398>
thee up like the cankerworm <03218>: make thyself many <03513>
as the cankerworm <03218>, make thyself many <03513> as the
locusts <0697>.
16 Thou hast multiplied <07235> thy merchants <07402> above the
stars <03556> of heaven <08064>: the cankerworm <03218> spoileth
<06584>, and flieth <05775> away.
17 Thy crowned <04502> [are] as the locusts <0697>, and thy
captains <02951> as the great <01462> grasshoppers <01462>,
which camp <02583> in the hedges <01448> in the cold <07135> day
<03117>, [but] when the sun <08121> ariseth <02224> they flee
<05074> away, and their place <04725> is not known <03045> where
<0335> they [are].
18 Thy shepherds <07462> slumber <05123>, O king <04428> of
Assyria <0804>: thy nobles <0117> shall dwell <07931> [in the
dust]: thy people <05971> is scattered <06340> upon the
mountains <02022>, and no <0369> man gathereth <06908> [them].
19 [There is] no <0369> healing <03545> of thy bruise <07667>;
thy wound <04347> is grievous <02470>: all <03605> that hear
<08085> the bruit <08088> of thee shall clap <08628> the hands
<03709> over <05921> thee: for upon whom <04310> hath not thy
wickedness <07451> passed <05674> continually <08548>?
