NA 01:01 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the
Elkohshite.
NA 01:02 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 01:03 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 01:04 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 01:05 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 01:06 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 01:07 The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them that trust in him.
NA 01:08 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of
the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
NA 01:09 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter
end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
NA 01:10 For while [they be] folden together [as] thorns, and while
they are drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble
fully dry.
NA 01:11 There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil
against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
NA 01:12 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 01:13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will
burst thy bonds in sunder.
NA 01:14 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 01:15 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 02:01 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 02:02 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 02:03 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 02:04 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 02:05 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 02:06 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace
shall be dissolved.
NA 02:07 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 02:08 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 02:09 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 02:10 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 02:11 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 02:12 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 02:13 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 03:01 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and]
robbery; the prey departeth not;
NA 03:02 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 03:03 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 03:04 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 03:05 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 03:06 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee
vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
NA 03:07 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 03:08 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 03:09 Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was]
infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
NA 03:10 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 03:11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also
shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
NA 03:12 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 03:13 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 03:14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds:
go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln.
NA 03:15 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 03:16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of
heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
NA 03:17 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 03:18 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 03:19 [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?
