1:1  Oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.
1:2  A jealous and avenging God is the Lord, an avenger is the Lord, full of wrath; The Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries, and rages against his enemies;
1:3  The Lord is slow to anger, yet great in power; the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. In stormwind and tempest he comes, and clouds are the dust at his feet;
1:4  He roars at the sea and leaves it dry, and all the rivers he dries up. Laid low are Bashan and Carmel, and the bloom of Lebanon withers;
1:5  The mountains quake before him, and the hills dissolve; The earth is laid waste before him, the world and all who dwell in it.
1:6  Before his wrath, who can stand firm, and who can face his blazing anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and boulders break apart before him.
1:7  The Lord is good to those who wait for him, a refuge on the day of distress, Taking care of those who look to him for protection,
1:8  when the flood rages; He makes an end of his opponents, and pursues his enemies into darkness.
1:9  What do you plot against the Lord, the one about to bring total destruction? No opponent rises a second time!
1:10  Like a thorny thicket, they are tangled, and like drunkards, they are drunk; like dry stubble, they are utterly consumed.
1:11  From you has come one plotting evil against the Lord, one giving sinister counsel.
1:12  Thus says the Lord: though fully intact and so numerous, they shall be mown down and disappear. Though I have humbled you, I will humble you no more.
1:13  Now I will break his yoke off of you, and tear off your bonds.
1:14  The Lord has commanded regarding you: no descendant will again bear your name; From the house of your gods I will abolish the carved and the molten image; I will make your grave a dung heap.
