Nahum 1:2-8 — Legacy Standard Bible

א Aleph

²A ^ajealous and avenging God is ¹Yahweh;Yahweh is ^bavenging and ²wrathful.Yahweh is ^cavenging against His adversaries,And He keeps His anger for His enemies.³Yahweh is ^aslow to anger and great in power,And Yahweh will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.In ^bwhirlwind and storm is His way,And ^cclouds are the dust beneath His feet.

ג Gimel

⁴He ^arebukes the sea and makes it dry;He dries up all the rivers.^bBashan and Carmel languish;The blossoms of Lebanon languish.

ה He

⁵Mountains ^aquake because of Him,And the hills ^bmelt;Indeed the earth is ^cupheaved by His presence,The ^dworld and all the inhabitants in it.

ז Zayin

⁶^aWho can stand before His indignation?Who can endure the ^bburning of His anger?His ^cwrath is poured out like fire,And the ^drocks are torn down by Him.

ט Teth

⁷Yahweh is ^agood,A strong defense in the day of distress,And ^bHe knows those who take refuge in Him.⁸But with an ^aoverflowing floodHe will make a complete destruction of ¹its placeAnd will pursue His enemies into ^bdarkness.
