New American Standard Bible 1995

God Is Awesome

1The 12oracleH4853 of 3NinevehH5210. The bookH5612 of the visionH2377 of NahumH5151 the ElkoshiteH512.

2A 4jealousH7072 and avengingH5358 GodH410 is the LordH3068; The LordH3068 is 5avengingH5358 and 6wrathfulH1167H2534. The LordH3068 takesH5358 7vengeanceH5358 on His adversariesH6862, And He reservesH5201 wrathH2534 for His enemiesH340.3The LordH3068 is 8slowH750 to angerH639 and greatH1419 in powerH3581, And the LordH3068 will by noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 the guilty unpunishedH5352. In 9whirlwindH5492 and stormH8183 is His wayH1870, And 10cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 beneath His feetH7272.4He 11rebukesH1605 the seaH3220 and makesH3001 it dryH3001; He driesH2717 up allH3605 the riversH5104. 12BashanH1316 and CarmelH3760 witherH535; The blossomsH6525 of LebanonH3844 witherH535.5MountainsH2022 13quakeH7493 becauseH4480 of Him And the hillsH1389 14dissolveH4127; Indeed the earthH776 is 15upheavedH5375 by His presenceH6440, The 16worldH8398 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 in it.617WhoH4310 can standH5975 beforeH6440 His indignationH2195? WhoH4310 can endureH6965 the 18burningH2740 of His angerH639? His 19wrathH2534 is pouredH5413 out like fireH784 And the 20rocksH6697 are brokenH5422 up by Him.7The LordH3068 is 21goodH2896, A strongholdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869, And 22He knowsH3045 those who takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him.8But with an 23overflowingH5674 floodH7858 He will makeH6213 a completeH3617 endH3617 of 24its siteH4725, And will pursueH7291 His enemiesH340 into 25darknessH2822.

9WhateverH4100 you 26deviseH2803 againstH413 the LordH3068, He will makeH6213 a 27completeH3617 endH3617 of it. DistressH6869 will not riseH6965 up twiceH6471.10LikeH5704 tangledH5440 28thornsH5518, And like those who are 29drunkenH5433 with their drinkH5435, They are 30consumedH398 As stubbleH7179 completelyH4392 witheredH3002.11From you has goneH3318 forthH3318 One who 31plottedH2803 evilH7463 againstH5921 the LordH3068, A 3233wickedH1100 counselorH3289. 12ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “ThoughH518 they are at fullH8003 strength and likewiseH3651 manyH7227, Even soH3651, they will be 34cutH1494 offH1494 and passH5674 awayH5674. Though I have afflictedH6031 you, I will afflictH6031 you 35noH3808 longerH5750.13So nowH6258, I will 36breakH7665 his yokeH4132 barH4132 from upon you, And I will tearH5423 offH5423 your shacklesH4147.”

14The LordH3068 has issuedH6680 a commandH6680 concerningH5921 37you: “38Your nameH8034 will 39noH3808 longerH5750 be perpetuatedH2232. I will cutH3772 offH3772 4041idolH6459 and 42imageH4541 From the houseH1004 of your godsH430. I will prepareH7760 your 43graveH6913, For you are contemptibleH7043.”

1544BeholdH2009, 45on the mountainsH2022 the feetH7272 of him who bringsH1319 good newsH1319, Who announcesH8085 peaceH7965! 46CelebrateH2287 your feastsH2282, O JudahH3063; PayH7999 your vowsH5088. For 47neverH3808H5750 againH3254 will the 48wickedH1100 one passH5674 through you; He is 49cutH3772 offH3772 completelyH3605.
