Nah 01:01 ¶ The burden <04853> of Nineveh <05210>. The book
<05612> of the vision <02377> of Nahum <05151> the Elkoshite
<0512>.
Nah 01:02 ¶ God <0410> is jealous <07072>, and the LORD <03068>
revengeth <05358> (8802); the LORD <03068> revengeth <05358>
(8802), and is furious <01167> <02534>; the LORD <03068> will
take vengeance <05358> (8802) on his adversaries <06862>, and he
reserveth <05201> (8802) wrath for his enemies <0341> (8802).
Nah 01:03 The LORD <03068> is slow <0750> to anger <0639>, and
great <01419> in power <03581>, and will not at all <05352>
(8763) acquit <05352> (8762) the wicked: 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>.
Nah 01:04 He rebuketh <01605> (8802) the sea <03220>, and
maketh it dry <02717> (8689), and drieth up <03001> (8762) all
the rivers <05104>: Bashan <01316> languisheth <0535> (8797),
and Carmel <03760>, and the flower <06525> of Lebanon <03844>
languisheth <0535> (8797).
Nah 01:05 The mountains <02022> quake <07493> (8804) at him,
and the hills <01389> melt <04127> (8712), and the earth <0776>
is burned <05375> (8799) at his presence <06440>, yea, the world
<08398>, and all that dwell <03427> (8802) therein.
Nah 01:06 Who can stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> his
indignation <02195>? and who can abide <06965> (8799) in the
fierceness <02740> of his anger <0639>? his fury <02534> is
poured out <05413> (8738) like fire <0784>, and the rocks
<06697> are thrown down <05422> (8738) by him.
Nah 01:07 The LORD <03068> is good <02896>, a strong hold
<04581> in the day <03117> of trouble <06869>; and he knoweth
<03045> (8802) them that trust <02620> (8802) in him.
Nah 01:08 But with an overrunning <05674> (8802) flood <07858>
he will make <06213> (8799) an utter end <03617> of the place
<04725> thereof, and darkness <02822> shall pursue <07291>
(8762) his enemies <0341> (8802).
Nah 01:09 ¶ What do ye imagine <02803> (8762) against the LORD
<03068>? he will make <06213> (8802) an utter end <03617>:
affliction <06869> shall not rise up <06965> (8799) the second
time <06471>.
Nah 01:10 For while they be folden together <05440> (8803) as
thorns <05518>, and while they are drunken <05433> (8803) as
drunkards <05435>, they shall be devoured <0398> (8795) as
stubble <07179> fully <04392> dry <03002>.
Nah 01:11 There is one come out <03318> (8804) of thee, that
imagineth <02803> (8802) evil <07451> against the LORD <03068>,
a wicked <01100> counsellor <03289> (8802).
Nah 01:12 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Though
they be quiet <08003>, and likewise many <07227>, yet thus shall
they be cut down <01494> (8738), when he shall pass through
<05674> (8804). Though I have afflicted <06031> (8765) thee, I
will afflict <06031> (8762) thee no more.
Nah 01:13 For now will I break <07665> (8799) his yoke <04132>
from off thee, and will burst <05423> <00> thy bonds <04147> in
sunder <05423> (8762).
Nah 01:14 And the LORD <03068> hath given a commandment <06680>
(8765) concerning thee, that no more of thy name <08034> be sown
<02232> (8735): out of the house <01004> of thy gods <0430> will
I cut off <03772> (8686) the graven image <06459> and the molten
image <04541>: I will make <07760> (8799) thy grave <06913>; for
thou art vile <07043> (8804).
Nah 01:15 Behold upon the mountains <02022> the feet <07272> of
him that bringeth good tidings <01319> (8764), that publisheth
<08085> (8688) peace <07965>! O Judah <03063>, keep <02287>
(8798) thy solemn feasts <02282>, perform <07999> (8761) thy
vows <05088>: for the wicked <01100> shall no more <03254>
(8686) pass through <05674> (8800) thee; he is utterly cut off
<03772> (8738).
Nah 02:01 ¶ He that dasheth in pieces <06327> (8688) is come up
<05927> (8804) before thy face <06440>: keep <05341> (8800) the
munition <04694>, watch <06822> (8761) the way <01870>, make thy
loins <04975> strong <02388> (8761), fortify <0553> (8761) thy
power <03581> mightily <03966>.
Nah 02:02 For the LORD <03068> hath turned away <07725> (8804)
the excellency <01347> of Jacob <03290>, as the excellency
<01347> of Israel <03478>: for the emptiers <01238> (8802) have
emptied them out <01238> (8804), and marred <07843> (8765) their
vine branches <02156>.
Nah 02:03 The shield <04043> of his mighty men <01368> is made
red <0119> (8794), the valiant <02428> men <0582> are in scarlet
<08529> (8794): the chariots <07393> shall be with flaming
<0784> torches <06393> in the day <03117> of his preparation
<03559> (8687), and the fir trees <01265> shall be terribly
shaken <07477> (8717).
Nah 02:04 The chariots <07393> shall rage <01984> (8704) in the
streets <02351>, they shall justle one against another <08264>
(8698) in the broad ways <07339>: they shall seem <04758> like
torches <03940>, they shall run <07323> (8787) like the
lightnings <01300>.
Nah 02:05 He shall recount <02142> (8799) his worthies <0117>:
they shall stumble <03782> (8735) in their walk <01979>; they
shall make haste <04116> (8762) to the wall <02346> thereof, and
the defence <05526> (8802) shall be prepared <03559> (8717).
Nah 02:06 The gates <08179> of the rivers <05104> shall be
opened <06605> (8738), and the palace <01964> shall be dissolved
<04127> (8738).
Nah 02:07 And Huzzab <05324> (8717) shall be led away captive
<01540> (8795), she shall be brought up <05927> (8717), and her
maids <0519> shall lead <05090> (8764) her as with the voice
<06963> of doves <03123>, tabering <08608> (8781) upon their
breasts <03824>.
Nah 02:08 But Nineveh <05210> is of old <03117> like a pool
<01295> of water <04325>: yet they shall flee away <05127>
(8801). Stand <05975> (8798), stand <05975> (8798), shall they
cry; but none shall look back <06437> (8688).
Nah 02:09 Take ye the spoil <0962> (8798) of silver <03701>,
take the spoil <0962> (8798) of gold <02091>: for there is none
end <07097> of the store <08498> and glory <03519> out of all
the pleasant <02532> furniture <03627>.
Nah 02:10 She is empty <0950>, and void <04003>, and waste
<01110> (8794): and the heart <03820> melteth <04549> (8738),
and the knees <01290> smite together <06375>, and much pain
<02479> is in all loins <04975>, and the faces <06440> of them
all gather <06908> (8765) blackness <06289>.
Nah 02:11 ¶ Where is the dwelling <04583> of the lions <0738>,
and the feedingplace <04829> of the young lions <03715>, where
the lion <0738>, even the old lion <03833>, walked <01980>
(8804), and the lion’s <0738> whelp <01482>, and none made them
afraid <02729> (8688)?
Nah 02:12 The lion <0738> did tear in pieces <02963> (8802)
enough <01767> for his whelps <01484>, and strangled <02614>
(8764) for his lionesses <03833>, and filled <04390> (8762) his
holes <02356> with prey <02964>, and his dens <04585> with ravin
<02966>.
Nah 02:13 Behold, I am against thee, saith <05002> (8803) the
LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, and I will burn <01197> (8689)
her chariots <07393> in the smoke <06227>, and the sword <02719>
shall devour <0398> (8799) thy young lions <03715>: and I will
cut off <03772> (8689) thy prey <02964> from the earth <0776>,
and the voice <06963> of thy messengers <04397> shall no more be
heard <08085> (8735).
Nah 03:01 ¶ Woe <01945> to the bloody <01818> city <05892>! it
is all full <04392> of lies <03585> and robbery <06563>; the
prey <02964> departeth <04185> (8686) not;
Nah 03:02 The noise <06963> of a whip <07752>, and the noise
<06963> of the rattling <07494> of the wheels <0212>, and of the
pransing <01725> (8802) horses <05483>, and of the jumping
<07540> (8764) chariots <04818>.
Nah 03:03 The horseman <06571> lifteth up <05927> (8688) 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 end <07097> of their corpses <01472>; they stumble <03782>
(8804) (8675) <03782> (8735) upon their corpses <01472>:
Nah 03:04 Because of the multitude <07230> of the whoredoms
<02183> of the wellfavoured <02896> <02580> harlot <02181>
(8802), the mistress <01172> of witchcrafts <03785>, that
selleth <04376> (8802) nations <01471> through her whoredoms
<02183>, and families <04940> through her witchcrafts <03785>.
Nah 03:05 Behold, I am against thee, saith <05002> (8803) the
LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; and I will discover <01540>
(8765) thy skirts <07757> upon thy face <06440>, and I will shew
<07200> (8689) the nations <01471> thy nakedness <04626>, and
the kingdoms <04467> thy shame <07036>.
Nah 03:06 And I will cast <07993> (8689) abominable filth
<08251> upon thee, and make thee vile <05034> (8765), and will
set <07760> (8804) thee as a gazingstock <07210>.
Nah 03:07 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look
<07200> (8802) upon thee shall flee <05074> (8799) from thee,
and say <0559> (8804), Nineveh <05210> is laid waste <07703>
(8795): who will bemoan <05110> (8799) her? whence <0370> shall
I seek <01245> (8762) comforters <05162> (8764) for thee?
Nah 03:08 ¶ Art thou better <03190> (8686) than populous <0527>
(8675) <0528> No <04996>, that was situate <03427> (8802) among
the rivers <02975>, that had the waters <04325> round about
<05439> it, whose rampart <02426> was the sea <03220>, and her
wall <02346> was from the sea <03220>?
Nah 03:09 Ethiopia <03568> and Egypt <04714> were her strength
<06109>, and it was infinite <0369> <07097>; Put <06316> and
Lubim <03864> were thy helpers <05833>.
Nah 03:10 Yet was she carried away <01473>, she went <01980>
(8804) into captivity <07628>: her young children <05768> also
were dashed in pieces <07376> (8792) at the top <07218> of all
the streets <02351>: and they cast <03032> (8804) lots <01486>
for her honourable men <03513> (8737), and all her great men
<01419> were bound <07576> (8795) in chains <02131>.
Nah 03:11 Thou also shalt be drunken <07937> (8799): thou shalt
be hid <05956> (8737), thou also shalt seek <01245> (8762)
strength <04581> because of the enemy <0341> (8802).
Nah 03:12 All thy strong holds <04013> shall be like fig trees
<08384> with the firstripe figs <01061>: if they be shaken
<05128> (8735), they shall even fall <05307> (8804) into the
mouth <06310> of the eater <0398> (8802).
Nah 03:13 Behold, thy people <05971> in the midst <07130> of
thee are women <0802>: the gates <08179> of thy land <0776>
shall be set wide <06605> (8800) open <06605> (8738) unto thine
enemies <0341> (8802): the fire <0784> shall devour <0398>
(8804) thy bars <01280>.
Nah 03:14 Draw <07579> (8798) thee waters <04325> for the siege
<04692>, fortify <02388> (8761) thy strong holds <04013>: go
<0935> (8798) into clay <02916>, and tread <07429> (8798) the
morter <02563>, make strong <02388> (8685) the brickkiln <04404>.
Nah 03:15 There shall the fire <0784> devour <0398> (8799) thee;
the sword <02719> shall cut thee off <03772> (8686), it shall
eat thee up <0398> (8799) like the cankerworm <03218>: make
thyself many <03513> (8690) as the cankerworm <03218>, make
thyself many <03513> (8690) as the locusts <0697>.
Nah 03:16 Thou hast multiplied <07235> (8689) thy merchants
<07402> (8802) above the stars <03556> of heaven <08064>: the
cankerworm <03218> spoileth <06584> (8804), and flieth away
<05774> (8799).
Nah 03:17 Thy crowned <04502> are as the locusts <0697>, and
thy captains <02951> as the great grasshoppers <01462>, which
camp <02583> (8802) in the hedges <01448> in the cold <07135>
day <03117>, but when the sun <08121> ariseth <02224> (8804)
they flee away <05074> (8776), and their place <04725> is not
known <03045> (8738) where <0335> they are.
Nah 03:18 Thy shepherds <07462> (8802) slumber <05123> (8804),
O king <04428> of Assyria <0804>: thy nobles <0117> shall dwell
<07931> (8799) in the dust: thy people <05971> is scattered
<06335> (8738) upon the mountains <02022>, and no man gathereth
<06908> (8764) them.
Nah 03:19 There is no healing <03545> of thy bruise <07667>;
thy wound <04347> is grievous <02470> (8737): all that hear
<08085> (8802) the bruit <08088> of thee shall clap <08628>
(8804) the hands <03709> over thee: for upon whom hath not thy
wickedness <07451> passed <05674> (8804) continually <08548>?
