Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. ² The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters. ³ The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
