Context of Nahum 1:7
5He causes the mountains to shake and he causes the hills to become flat. The earth and all the people in the world are afraid of God. 6Nobody can fight God when he is very angry. The Lord pours his anger out like fire and he breaks the rocks in his path. The Lord loves those who believe him. When they are in trouble, they can put their hope in God. 8But the people in Nineveh are his enemies and he will kill them. 9The Lord will stop anything that you decide to do immediately. He does not let his enemies have a second chance.
