NA-1:1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkohshite.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-1:7 The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he
knoweth them that trust in him.
NA-1:8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place
thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
NA-1:9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end:
affliction shall not rise up the second time.
NA-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.
NA-1:11 There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the
LORD, a wicked counsellor.
NA-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.
NA-1:13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds
in sunder.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-2:6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be
dissolved.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-2:11 Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the
young lions, where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the lion's
whelp, and none made [them] afraid?
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-3:1 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robbery; the
prey departeth not;
NA-3:2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and
of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
NA-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:
NA-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.
NA-3:5 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will
discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness,
and the kingdoms thy shame.
NA-3:6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and
will set thee as a gazingstock.
NA-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?
NA-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?
NA-3:9 Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and
Lubim were thy helpers.
NA-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.
NA-3:11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek
strength because of the enemy.
NA-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.
NA-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.
NA-3:14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into
clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln.
NA-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.
NA-3:16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the
cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
NA-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].
NA-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].
NA-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?
