NAHUM
Chapter 1
Nahu | DRC | 1:2 | The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:3 | The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:4 | He rebuketh the sea and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the flower of Libanus fadeth away. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:5 | The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:6 | Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:7 | The Lord is good, and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:8 | But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:9 | What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:10 | For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:11 | Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:12 | Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:13 | And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder. | |
Nahu | DRC | 1:14 | And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced. | |
