Nahum 1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The oracle against Nineveh; the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
2 The LORD is a zealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and very angry. The LORD takes vengeance against his foes; he sustains his rage against his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger but great in power; the LORD will certainly not allow the wicked to go unpunished. He marches out in the whirlwind and the raging storm; dark storm clouds billow like dust under his feet.
4 He shouts a battle cry against the sea and makes it dry up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains tremble before him, the hills convulse; the earth is laid waste before him, the world and all its inhabitants are laid waste.
6 No one can withstand his indignation! No one can resist his fierce anger! His wrath is poured out like volcanic fire, boulders are broken up as he approaches.
7 The LORD is good— indeed, he is a fortress in time of distress, and he protects those who seek refuge in him.
8 But with an overwhelming flood he will make a complete end of Nineveh; he will drive his enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, he will completely destroy! Distress will not arise a second time.
10 Surely they will be totally consumed like entangled thorn bushes, like the drink of drunkards, like very dry stubble.
11 From you, O Nineveh, one has marched forth who plots evil against the LORD, a wicked military strategist.
12 This is what the LORD says: "Even though they are powerful— and what is more, even though their army is numerous— nevertheless, they will be destroyed and trickle away! Although I afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 And now, I will break Assyria's yoke bar from your neck; I will tear apart the shackles that are on you."
14 The LORD has issued a decree against you: "Your dynasty will come to an end. I will destroy the idols and images in the temples of your gods. I will desecrate your grave— because you are accursed!"
15 Look! A herald is running on the mountains! A messenger is proclaiming deliverance: "Celebrate your sacred festivals, O Judah! Fulfill your sacred vows to praise God! For never again will the wicked Assyrians invade you, they have been completely destroyed."

2 God H410 EDS is jealous H7072 , and the LORD H3068 EDS revengeth H5358 ; the LORD H3068 EDS revengeth H5358 , and is furious H1167 ; the LORD H3068 EDS will take vengeance H5358 on his adversaries H6862 , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS reserveth H5201 wrath for his enemies H341 .
3 The LORD H3068 NAME-4MS is slow H750 JMS to anger H639 NMD , and great H1419 in power H3581 , and will not at all acquit H5352 the wicked : the LORD H3068 EDS hath his way H1870 CMS-3MS in the whirlwind H5492 and in the storm H8183 , and the clouds H6051 are the dust H80 of his feet H7272 .
4 He rebuketh H1605 the sea H3220 BD-NMS , and maketh it dry H3001 , and drieth up H2717 all H3605 W-CMS the rivers H5104 : Bashan H1316 languisheth H535 , and Carmel H3760 , and the flower H6525 of Lebanon H3844 languisheth H535 .
5 The mountains H2022 NMP quake H7493 at H4480 M-PREP-3MS him , and the hills H1389 melt H4127 , and the earth H776 D-GFS is burned H5375 at his presence H6440 M-CMP-3MS , yea , the world H8398 , and all H3605 W-CMS that dwell H3427 therein .
6 Who H4310 W-IPRO can stand H5975 before H6440 L-CMP his indignation H2195 ? and who H4310 W-IPRO can abide H6965 VQY3MS in the fierceness H2740 of his anger H639 CMS-3MS ? his fury H2534 is poured out H5413 like fire H784 , and the rocks H6697 are thrown down H5422 by H4480 M-PREP-3MS him .
7 The LORD H3068 EDS is good H2896 AMS , a stronghold H4581 in the day H3117 B-NMS of trouble H6869 NFS ; and he knoweth H3045 them that trust H2620 in him .

9 What H4100 IPRO do ye imagine H2803 against H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS ? he H1931 PPRO-3MS will make H6213 VQPMS an utter end H3617 : affliction H6869 NFS shall not H3808 ADV rise up H6965 VQY3FS the second time H6471 NFD .
10 For H3588 CONJ while H5704 PREP they be folded together H5440 as thorns H5518 , and while they are drunken H5435 as drunkards H5433 , they shall be devoured H398 as stubble H7179 K-NMS fully H4390 dry H3002 AMS .
11 There is one come out H3318 VQQ3MS of H4480 thee , that imagineth H2803 evil H7451 AFS against H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , a wicked H1100 counselor H3289 .
12 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS ; Though H518 PART they be quiet H8003 , and likewise H3651 many H7227 AMP , yet thus H3651 shall they be cut down H1494 , when he shall pass through H5674 . Though I have afflicted H6031 thee , I will afflict H6031 thee no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV .
13 For now H6258 W-ADV will I break H7665 his yoke H4132 from off H5921 thee , and will burst thy bonds in sunder H5423 .
14 And the LORD H3068 EDS hath given a commandment H6680 concerning H5921 PREP-2MS thee , that no H3808 ADV more H5750 ADV of thy name H8034 be sown H2232 : out of the house H1004 of thy gods H430 CMP-2MS will I cut off H3772 the graven image H6459 and the molten image H4541 : I will make H7760 VQY1MS thy grave H6913 ; for H3588 CONJ thou art vile H7043 .
15 Behold H2009 IJEC upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 the feet H7272 of him that bringeth good tidings H1319 , that publisheth H8085 peace H7965 NMS ! O Judah H3063 , keep H2287 thy solemn feasts H2282 , perform H7999 thy vows H5088 : for H3588 CONJ the wicked H1100 shall no H3808 NADV more H3254 pass through H5674 thee ; he is utterly H3605 cut off H3772 .
