1 The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath;
Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
3 Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will certainly not allow the wicked to go unpunished.
Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers.
Bashan withers, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon wither.
5 The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt;
the earth heaves in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 But he will make a complete end to its place with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 What are you people plotting against Yahweh?
He will make a complete end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; and like those who are drunken with their drink;
they will be devoured by fire like stubble fully dried.
11 Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
12 This is what Yahweh says,
“Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be cut off;
their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Now will I break that people’s yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
14 Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh:
“There will be no more descendants bearing your name.
I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods.
I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
15 Look, on the mountains there are the feet of him who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace!
Celebrate your festivals, O Judah, and keep your vows,
for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
