Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ A pronouncement about Nineveh: The record of the vision of Nahum from Elkosh. ² A jealous God, the LORD avenges. The LORD avenges; The Lord is an angry husband. The LORD takes vengeance on his enemies, reserving anger for his adversaries. ³ The LORD is slow to anger and powerful, and he will never let the guilty go unpunished. The LORD's path is in the windstorm and hurricane; thunderclouds are dust beneath his feet.
