Nahum 1:2-7

2GodH410 is jealousH7072, And YhwhH3068 revengethH5358; YhwhH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH2534H1167; YhwhH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341.12

3YhwhH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: YhwhH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.

4He rebukethH1605 the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH2717, and drieth upH3001 all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languishethH535, and CarmelH3760, and the flowerH6525 of LebanonH3844 languishethH535.

5The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127, and the earthH776 is burnedH5375 at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein.

6Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him.3

7YhwhH3068 is goodH2896, a strong holdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knowethH3045 them that trustH2620 in him.4
