Nahum 1:2-7

2Jehovah is a jealousH7072 GodH410 and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrathH2534; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrathH2534 for his enemiesH341. 3Jehovah is slow to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will by no means clear the guilty: Jehovah hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwind and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272. 4He rebuketh the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH3001, and drieth up all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languisheth, and CarmelH3760; and the flower of LebanonH3844 languisheth. 5The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127; and the earthH776 is upheaved at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein. 6Who can standH5975 before his indignationH2195? and who can abide in the fierceness of his angerH639? his wrathH2534 is pouredH5413 out like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are brokenH5422 asunder by him. 7Jehovah is goodH2896, a strongholdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knoweth them that takeH2620 refugeH2620 in him.
