Nahum 1:2-15

Nahum 1:2-15

[2] God  is jealous,  revengeth;  and is furious;  will take vengeance  on his adversaries,  and he reserveth  wrath for his enemies.  [3] The LORD  is slow  to anger,  and great  and will not at all  the wicked: the LORD  hath his way  in the whirlwind  and in the storm,  and the clouds  are the dust  of his feet.  [4] He rebuketh  the sea,  and maketh it dry,  and drieth up  all the rivers:  Bashan  and Carmel,  and the flower  of Lebanon  [5] 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. [6] 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  [7] The LORD  is good,  a strong hold  in the day  of trouble;  and he knoweth  them that trust  in him. [8] But with an overrunning  flood  he will make  an utter end  of the place  thereof, and darkness  shall pursue  his enemies.  [9] What do ye imagine  against the LORD?  he will make  an utter end:  affliction  shall not rise up  the second time.  [10] For while they be folden together  as thorns,  and while they are drunken  as drunkards,  they shall be devoured  as stubble  dry.  [11] There is one come out  of thee, that imagineth  evil  against the LORD,  a wicked  counsellor.  [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  [13] For now will I break  his yoke  thy bonds  in sunder.  [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.  [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.
