1:1  The oracle of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
1:2  A jealous and avenging God is Yahweh; Yahweh is avenging and wrathful. Yahweh is avenging against His adversaries, And He keeps His anger for His enemies.
1:3  Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power, And Yahweh will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
1:4  In whirlwind and storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish; The blossoms of Lebanon languish.
1:5  Mountains quake because of Him,
1:6  And the hills melt; Indeed the earth is upheaved by His presence, The world and all the inhabitants in it. Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger?
1:7  His wrath is poured out like fire, And the rocks are torn down by Him. Yahweh is good, A strong defense in the day of distress,
1:8  And He knows those who take refuge in Him. But with an overflowing flood
1:9  He will make a complete destruction of its place And will pursue His enemies into darkness. Whatever you devise against Yahweh, He will make a complete destruction of it. Distress will not rise up twice.
1:10  Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble fully dried up.
1:11  From you has gone forth One who devised evil against Yahweh, A vile counselor.
1:12  Thus says Yahweh, “Though they are at full strength and likewise many, Even so, they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
1:13  So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you, And I will break your bands apart.”
1:14  And Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “There will no longer be seed from your name. From the house of your gods, I will cut off graven image and molten image. I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible.”
1:15  Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who proclaims good news, Who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the vile one pass through you; He is cut off completely.
