Nahum 1

NASB

Nahum 1

God Is Awesome

^{Tools
1} The ^(a)^(A)oracle of ^(B)Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

^{Tools
2}

A ^(C)jealous and avenging God is the Lord;
The Lord is ^(D)avenging and ^(b)wrathful.
The Lord takes ^(E)vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies.

^{Tools
3}

The Lord is ^(F)slow to anger and great in power,
And the Lord will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.
In ^(G)whirlwind and storm is His way,
And ^(H)clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

^{Tools
4}

He ^(I)rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
He dries up all the rivers.
^(J)Bashan and Carmel wither;
The blossoms of Lebanon wither.

^{Tools
5}

Mountains ^(K)quake because of Him
And the hills ^(L)dissolve;
Indeed the earth is ^(M)upheaved by His presence,
The ^(N)world and all the inhabitants in it.

^{Tools
6}

^(O)Who can stand before His indignation?
Who can endure the ^(P)burning of His anger?
His ^(Q)wrath is poured out like fire
And the ^(R)rocks are broken up by Him.

^{Tools
7}

The Lord is ^(S)good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble,
And ^(T)He knows those who take refuge in Him.

^{Tools
8}

But with an ^(U)overflowing flood
He will make a complete end of ^(c)its site,
And will pursue His enemies into ^(V)darkness.

^{Tools
9}

Whatever you ^(W)devise against the Lord,
He will make a ^(X)complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.

^{Tools
10}

Like tangled ^(Y)thorns,
And like those who are ^(Z)drunken with their drink,
They are ^(AA)consumed
As stubble completely withered.

^{Tools
11}

From you has gone forth
One who ^(AB)plotted evil against the Lord,
A ^(d)^(AC)wicked counselor.

^{Tools
12} Thus says the Lord,

“Though they are at full strength and likewise many,
Even so, they will be ^(AD)cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you ^(AE)no longer.

^{Tools
13}

“So now, I will ^(AF)break his yoke bar from upon you,
And I will tear off your shackles.”

^{Tools
14}

The Lord has issued a command concerning ^(e)you:
“^(f)Your name will ^(AG)no longer be perpetuated.
I will cut off ^(g)^(AH)idol and ^(h)image
From the house of your gods.
I will prepare your ^(AI)grave,
For you are contemptible.”

^{Tools
15}

⁽ⁱ⁾Behold, ^(AJ)on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news,
Who announces peace!
^(AK)Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;
Pay your vows.
For ^(AL)never again will the ^(j)wicked one pass through you;
He is ^(AM)cut off completely.
