1 A prophecy concerning Nineveh.The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh

² The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeanceand is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.
³ The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.
His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,
and clouds are the dust of his feet.
