Nahum

1. The burden of Nineveh.  The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2. God is jealous, and the Lord avenges;
   the Lord avenges and is furious.
   The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
   and He reserves wrath for His enemies;  (Ex. 20:5)
3. The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked.  (Ex. 34:6-7;   Job 9:4)
   The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.  (Ps. 18:17)
4. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers.
   Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.  (Matt. 8:26;   Is. 33:9)
5. The mountains quake before Him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at His presence,  Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6. Who can stand before His indignation?  and who can endure the fierceness of His anger?  His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by Him.  (Ps. 76:7;   Mal. 3:2)
7. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble;  (Jer. 33:11)
   and He knows those who trust in Him.  (Ps. 145:9;   2 Tim. 2:19)

1. He who scatters has come up before your face.
   Man the fort!
   Watch the road!
   Strengthen your flanks!
   Fortify your power mightily.
2. For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob like the excellence of Israel,
   for the emptiers have emptied them out and ruined their vine branches.

1. Woe to the bloody cry!
   It is all full of lies and robbery.  (Hab. 2:2)
   Its victim never departs.
