burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.


 * OD is jealous, and the Lord revengeth;
 * The Lord revengeth, and is furious;
 * The Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries,
 * And he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
 * The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power,
 * And will not at all acquit the wicked:
 * The Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm,
 * And the clouds are the dust of his feet.
 * He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry,
 * And drieth up all the rivers:
 * Bashan languisheth, and Carmel,
 * And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
 * 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.
 * 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 by him.
 * The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
 * And he knoweth them that trust in him.
